I sat in a Recaro yesterday (not sure what kind) and it was on the garage floor, but it seemed really tight around the shoulders which I'm not sure if I'd like or not while driving

yeah, but then when you're fat *** (you as in the general you, not you specifically) wears out the seat, you can swap it with the passenger seat and have a fairly new seat again

F STi seats. "hey i wanna dump my 40lbs seats for some 60-90 lb ones" lol

Dude, sit in my Sparco Corsa, you will fall in love!

Sparco Speed/Sprints have pressure points and are VERY uncomfortable.

My Corsa feels like a glove that molds around you (that is if you have a 32-36 waist) The best $300 ive spent. ($750 new, still worth it IMO)

The extended rails to your knees are awesome and double as a place to rest your hand for messing with the radio.

18lbs!

Ask me how to make your own mount and save $200ish

I'll be home in the bay during Memorial Day Weekend if you want to sit in my Bride Zeta III's. Need a waist of 34 or less though, and 34 is pushing the limits too. I'll probably come out to the meet on Friday.
