Recaro seats ?

Hey has anyone had any experience with Recaro seats -- buying, selling, using, etc. Don't know much about them but DO KNOW I want to upgrade my front seats this year.

Any suggestions ?

adious,
RP.

Richard, if you can wait till the spring, try out the TA seat in my car and see if you like them. You may be able to save yourself a bit of money by picking up a set of used TA seats rather than Recaro.

Chris -- I was not planning on any purchase till May so I can wait those 4th gen TA seats are nice.

Easyspeed -- nice seats I am looking for an upgrade something that provides better back support and holds you in better. How do you like those 4th gen seats ?

Kev - if I get a new set you can have my old ones real cheap.

Recaro seats, for the most part, are extremely rigid and uncomfortable to use when driving for long periods of time. From what some people have told me- some of the newer styles used in late-model Volkswagens aren't so bad. If you want an upgrade- go with an all-out aftermarket conversion so you can get exactly what you want- i.e. Corbeau or such (www.corbeau.ca).
