Recaro Seats?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

But.. I was just wondering how comfortable are the Recaro seats? Im thinking about scoring a set for a Camaro.


Oh, and Im talking about the 82-84 Recaro, Daytona, and 15th Anniversary Trans Am seats.

Recaro seats are much harder and narrower than stock seats.
However, they fit your body much better.
I have 2 sets, and wish I had them in every car!
I love them, and don't want anything else.
The only other problem with them, is their weight.
They are heavy.
And, if you get the top of the line ones that they make, one seat weighs more than two of your stock seats.

Hope this helps,

George

Had them in my second gen- definitely held tight and weigh about the same as stock third gen seats. I'm selling them for $200 if anyone can pick them.
