Which do you like better and why? I'm looking for firm, supportive yet comfortable seats that wear well primarily for spirited day to day use, with some autocross mixed in.

 

No one has an opinion on aftermarket seats? I've ruled out Brides due to my tall stature. I looked at the STI Recaros and the Prodrive Sparcos, but they seem pricey for basically the same thing as without the added logos and special colors. There's not much info out there about the differences between the various models from each company, let alone how products from different companies compare. Any info would be welcomed.

 

look into some JDM (probably v7) seats. i sat in one and wow it really grabs you. but in picking out seats there is a lot of personal preference.

good luck

 

I've sat in Sparco Torinos and the new Sparco Sienna, both didn't impress me at all. I'm a tall guy too (6'5") and found the Torinos to be uncomfortable in the legs and to short to support my thighs. The Sienna felt just as supportive as the stock RS seats that I have and didn't seem to lend any support at all to the shoulders or kidney area, but was long enough to support my thighs. I'm looking at getting the Recaro Sports, nice and tall and comfy, and I kinda like the artsy print and the fact that they come with lumbar support (adjustable I think?), allot of people here would swear by the Recaro SRD's (or Speed seats nowadays), but they look to short and narrow for me (35 waist). I've sworn off Brides too.

 

RECAROS ALL THE WAY. the most comfortable supportive seats on the market hold you really well and still comfortable
I have a excellent condition set of black SRD recaros all you need to get is the bracket and sliders I will sell the seats for $1000 picked up they are 9 out of 10 as far as condition
