Hell yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That seat lowered me sooooo much more then the stock seat... The stock seat is so high that it actually feels unstable when you're driving... Almost like driving a really tall truck with a lot of body roll. I can't see myself in a stock seat ever again in my life. Once you're spoiled with good seats, there's no going back. Think about it, it's your direct link to the car, it's very important to have a seat that fits you perfectly.

Does anyone have any information about how important side airbags are? This is one of the main reasons why I've never considered aftermarket seats.
What if you were to get into an accident where the stock side airbag would've helped prevent injury and your insurance company finds out you had an aftermarket seat? Would this be an issue?

A side airbag can only do so much. They are for minor accidents where you'd knock your head on something, but for high speed T-bone accidents, you're f'ed no matter what, there's no way a small airbag on the side is going to save you from such a devastating blow to your door. Think about a 60mph T-bone directly to your drivers side door, you think that airbag is going to do much? There's just too much force involved. You have to be REALLY, REALLY lucky to come out from an accident like that and still be alive, even with an airbag.
With low speed accidents you can suffer from some head injuries from getting t-boned, thanks in part to the stock seats that don't hold you in at all. The recaro's have so much lateral support that your movement is restricted greatly side to side.
Also, try not to get into T-bone accidents all together, it's better for you.
