I've driven a '44 turbo w/those seats from chchchecker.... They're a little loose, really loose. I weight 160 and am about 6' tall. Felt uncomfortable driving it fast (of course I did anyways) because the seats weren't as inviting as they looked. On the other hand, my roomate has a sparco evo II for his 280zx, the seat is incredible. Don't cheap out on the seat(s), my right leg is all banged up from hitting the center console w/the stock seats

Went drifting in an S13 w/one of these... Very supportive, spot on fit in the shoulder area, It'll be the next set of seats I purchase.

Recaro Trophies... had em in my VW, 200$ for both, incredible seats, the bolstering is so deep and they have the beloved old couch feel. If you want something cheap/streetable/way better than stock, then these are classy.

Hey maybe you had it mounted to the floor loose.. eh yea the sparcos are nice & cherry love to have one of those and the recaro trophies Im nit to fond of them.

The shoulder support is lame, the fittiment overall wasn't very inspiring. I was swimming in the seat. Realized this in a set of esses at about, oh I don't know, 85, 90 maybe? The car came w/the sport seats which contoured me a little better. We tossed the "racing" seats back in upon selling the car at the purchaser's request. Fine by me, the stock set is left to my access for my car. My apologies for the vauge, imagine-it-yourself kind of clarity.

just got some wrx seats. theyre a little heavier than i thought... maybe even heavier than my old ones. they just fit width-wise. they're much more encompassing than my old seats though they sit a lot higher. i might have to do something about the height. Have yet to look at mounting them. will check it out tomoro.

Any body ever used or experience the Momo racing seats or the Netami racing seats? The Netami's *seem* like a good deal, as you can get a pair for under $300...but are they any good???

Trogdor, those Sparco Sprints might prove a little hard for extended street use. That's why Sparco also makes the Speed seat, pretty much the same thing except softer and a little more roomy.

I am picking up a GLI for free soon, comes with those Recaro Trophy seats as stock, although they are in desperate need of a recover.

That's why you only buy one and remember to keep the stockies for road trips. Unless you're like me and enjoy harsh, otherwise functionless, non-streetable death machines

Is their a weight difference between the standard seat and sport seat from Porsche?

[CBass]

Not much of a weight difference if any... I think the sports are a little heavier actually.
