This is fun but it appears there is a dispute. I say the only way to settle it is for Benman and Shimmy to submit photographs of their arses. Then let the most computer-savvy guy here mix them up with a photoshop program and pix of the seats, and we'll vote on who fits what best!

I take it from the change in topic that it won't be necessary for me to post a picture of my head and arse.

Probabaly a good decision!

Might turn in to some kind of "weird" thread.

Bajo,

Remember, I was talking about the RS 4 "sport" seats, really only good for track work and not long trips. The seats you want (from European RS 6) are perfect even if you're well over 200lbs.

Just the RS 4 track seats are a tight fit, all other Euro Recaros are fine.

Like it hasnt already !!! I started about seats and we are talkin about how big our arse's are like we need reminding. Heheheheh! J/K



Ben,
You drove the RS6 in Europe what was your impression of them. My S8 had the Recaros and man they spoil you for ALL other seats including the ones in my GT2 which has the Porsche "sport" seats with wings.

Drove, and rode in (thanks George ). The Euro RS 6 Recaros are even better than the US S8 seats. You'll love em!

I'm with Shimmy on this one. I'm 250 ibs and 6'3" and I find the seats no problem at all. I've driven ffrom the North of England to Berlin in one go (over 12 hours) and didn't get backache.

Interesting thread here - wanted to follow it as I owned a 94 S4 which had the Recaro's and I loved those seats. (BTW I am 6' 2" tall and about 200 lbs) I had many 6 hour drives to Mammoth ( ski resort North of Los Angeles) and had no problems with my back.

I was telling my kids to get away from the computer in case the thread turned X rated

I was hoping for more response on the group buy idea for US owners who wanted to swap out??

Is this a possibility ?

I might be interested, but would have to overcome some issues first:

1) My back generally has been fine with the stock seats. I have had back problems in the past, tho, so would want to try out anything else before I bought it.

2) When I checked with my Florida dealer re prices, parts guy got back to me with message that if he got the Recaros, they would be about $3500 for each front seat ... if I recall correctly. He also said they would arrive as components, requiring dealer assembly, so there would be added cost for labor -- maybe substantial.

Sorry but that's just too pricey for me. If I could get both seats for $3K, everything included, maybe ... but, again, I would not order at all without being able to try them out first. [B]
