Otherwise, I am going Recaro.

Highly recommend contacting him directly. He is located in Poland, so it just means it takes longer to ship.

I bought these from AMX Performance in July. He is great to work with. Once they were finished, shipping to the West Coast took ~8 days.

I was very surprised how much the seats changed the "feel" of the car. The OEM seats definitely "filter" detail about what the chassis is doing. The new seats make the car feel far more special, but they also make it harder to get in and out of...

If you just drive around town they're great. I have crossed the US in my 1M form Ontario Canada, the long way through Utah to San Diego, CA. These seats surely keep you from being able to shift on long drives or spread your legs so your equipment is squished for hours on end. My equipment likes to move around a bit and breath. So for me, these seats are too constricting for long drives. Same with Awesome EVO X seats, lovely seats for autocrossing but long drives = overheated, constricted equipment. Maybe the ladies won't mind but I do.

I ordered from AMX.

Almost went with a little bolder pattern, but I kept it more true to OEM style.

Black with orange stitching.

Thanks everyone
