Anyone ever sit in at least two of the following seats? How do they compare?

For those of you who have put DC5R Recaros in, how do they compare to the stock seats?
This is just my opinion but I feel they are superior in every way outside of fitment. They are much more comfortable. With the stock seats my lower back would hurt on long drives but i have yet to have that issue with these seats and as stated before the bolsters keep you snug. The down side is the fitment is not perfect. They rub on the transmission tunnel cover and depending how far back you put the seat, they will rub on the outer interior panel just beyond the door. Surprisingly they do not prevent the glove box from opening. Honestly though the rubbing issue does not bother me as the seats rarely need to be moved and I feel the pros outweigh the cons. Plus they look damn good in the car.

Hmmmm, this just made things harder for me to decide. Been looking to order a set of jersey red PP, but they're so damn expensive; I think they actually went up in price now too! WTF!?!

Option 1: I can either buy one PP for now and wait a few months to buy the passenger seat.

Option 2: Pick up a complete set of these DC5r since there pretty much half the price and are probably more comfortable then the PP's.

Option 3: Just buy one jersey red PP since I'm sure my wife is going to hate having to climb in and out of the PP on the weekends..lol In addition, seems like this option would avoid all the hassles invovled with installing an aftermarket passenger seat for an 06+ car.. unless someone has finally figured out a clear way to avoid the airbag sensor issue.

Check out these new seats from Corbeau. They fit inside the S2000 well! So if you are looking for a seat that is more comfy than the stock seats, these may be for you. They retail for less than $1,000 for a pair.

As you can see they sit a little lower than the stock seats.



Some pictures of the clearance on the door panel, center console and middle compartment.

I just put in the RS-G in on the driver side. Still waiting on the passenger rail to come in. It's a tight fit. Slightly tighter than the Bride GIAS 2 it replaced. I'm sure my wife will have her feedback once I put the passenger seat in.

So far I almost read the whole thread,

and everyone seems to use PP Recaros with Buddy club rails. Are the Buddy Club Rails stronger now?
In addition, I guess I'll need seatbelt extenders with this set up.

Anything else I need for install? How come no need for Recaro Side Bracket Mounts?

They're honestly shit.

Mine creaks and isn't very stable, but that's the price I pay for literally sitting on the floor of the car. I could've went with a Planted seat rail/slider combo but it doesn't allow a really low seated position.

i'm not looking for short set up....but OEM height and adjustbility if possible. I'm short, and I prefer to slide the seat all the way forward, or 2-3 clicks back on the OEM seat.

Somebody mentioned PCI slider seat mounts http://www.pci-racing.com/shop/seat-...r-seat-mounts/

I am wondering about the Planted. I'm reading on the forum that Pole Position with Recaro Side Mount on a Planted base is higher than stock seat.
