robsontuning Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I am trying to decide which seats to put in my car. I am leaning towards the Recaro. Let me know what you guys think Recaro Sport "Topline" http://www.recaro-nao.com/produkte/picSport/Sport_JerS-Si_DinS.jpg Sparco Milano Prestige http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6dd04b3127cce97a72e55d66b00000015100AaOGrdy1ZsWNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Which one fits your butt better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsontuning Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 that parts not a problem. I have had the Corbeau adjustable Carrera and the Sparco 1 Piece head wrap around seat. I just climb over the hump and fall in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 recaro sport line by far. The only thing is that it is pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsontuning Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 what shocked me is that it has a lower retail then the Sparco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 too bad you arn't on the west coast. I could have gotten the sparco seats for $440 at the sparco garage sale. Black alcantara (im kicking myself for not getting them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsontuning Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Yep, I missed that completely. I can't believe you did not grab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggert Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 the sparcos are comfy for my butt. never tried the recaros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I'd love a proper leather/alcantara Recaro with heated option. The LGT seats are no fun for more than a two hour drive.....I get pain in my right leg from the seat. Same problem from the WRX seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 MMMM.. to my knowledge you can't replace the front Drivers seat because of the airbag in it.... Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 ^ not for the passenger side, the weight sensors is harder to bypass. As for the seats, I would just get the JDM Recaro STi Leather versions... Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemani Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Recaro's harness holes are very small, keep that in mind. My schoroth harness barely fit through it, after alot of pushing and shoving and pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsontuning Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Actually change in plans. We are now going with one piece race shells, either Sparco, Recaro or Bride. My wife was really pissed with all of the sliding around in the stock seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hm.. it would be nice to get some race seats for the weight savings and the ability to add a race harness. I wonder what that guy did to fool the weight sensor for the passenger seat. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what that guy did to fool the weight sensor for the passenger seat. To be honest, Im not sure the weight sensor would really be a big deal. its most likely a "button" type thing that is grounded when there's weight on the seat. More than likely by simply leaving it disconnected it will simply stay off as if someone was never sitting on the seat. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuxtaGT Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 You should get some of these then: http://www.cg-lock.com/ Wifey will no longer slide around. Worth a shot at $80. I love mine.

More than likely by simply leaving it disconnected it will simply stay off as if someone was never sitting on the seat. it's been told that the unit can detect the amount of weight to adjust the release of the air bag speed appropriately. Also, you need to complete the circuit, and you'll probably need to do a few things like measuring out the right amount of resistors to make it work. The weight sensors are part of the seat's base assembly. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
