tenzo R makes some good seats at really cheap prices. You should maybe consider those as well.

I got my recaro's from a local performance shop.

www.performance-evolution.com for $1100Cdn each. &nbsp;Rails and brackets are extra.

the recaro rails are $150Cdn a pair (for 2 seats).
the brackets are $150Cdn a pair as well..

as for fitment, the Recaros fit VERY VERY nice around my back. &nbsp;it provides very good support for back, sholder, as well as legs... and yet, they're still not too bad getting in and out of in a daily driven car.

The seat materials are very soft, and yet supportive, unlike some of the other aftermarket seats that I've sat in which gives a very hard and too stiff of feeling.

the rails bolt into the seats very nice, since both are recaro.
but the brackets fit like crap. &nbsp;(I got the brackets from a US based seat bracket place that makes brackets for multi-purpose use)... other then the part I have to use a pry bar to put those retarded brackets into the car, but they also sit 2" higher then stock height. &nbsp;I had to take out those dam brackets and weld up some on my free time at home to get them to sit back to stock ride height. &nbsp;I can still lower them by about 1/2" or so but I have to spent more time relocating the rails around to clear the humps on the floor board.

hope this can help <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

but ya, one advice for people buying aftermarket seats, DO NOT buy brackets from other places... get a local machine shop to custom make you some that fits and sit at the height that you want.

Except for those who buy bracket/rails from "Bride"... they actually make very good bracket/rails that sit at the same or lower then stock height.
