Does anyone else find the drivers seat uncomfortable? No lumbar support with limited adjustability. Is it just me??Maybe I am too used to my plush american truck seat.

Has anyone replaced the stock Stook seats with aftermarket(Recaro perhaps)? I know there are a number of race applications available, but I would be more interested in a replacement that used the stock seat belts with adjustable lumbar and height.

I would appreciate any help. Photos would be cool!

Very nice, but a little too racey for me. Any suggestion on web sites to look at Recaro seats?

The stock seats ARE Recaros! I have more than a dozen S2000 brochures from other countries and this is mentioned in several of them.

It must be you, because many of the magazine and online review mention how great the seats are.

Check out

Check OEM; there are two HONDA Recaros.

That's odd, they only have OEM listed for the ITR and NSX-S...what's up with that?

Recaro creates the seats for the Japanese-Spec ITR and NSX Type S.

I know what you mean, My company truck is a big ford and those seats are the spoiler for any thing else. Not sure if I would switch the S-CAR seats though for the lack of room. I would also like to see some pictures though.
If you bought an S2K for comfort, you made a big mistake. The emphasis is on control and I'll take the stock seats over the plush ones anytime. Rolling off a flat cushion with no real bolsters in the middle of a turn is no fun.

yah..no doubt..these seats hold me in while i'm making sharp turns or whatever..on my old car (talon) , i'd be slipping and sliding all over trying to hold onto the steering wheel! I love these seats! Although they kinda suck when you get all dressed up and then your shirt gets crinkled and all..
