Recaro Seats not offered in Cobalt SS/SC anymore?
Probably a dumb question to ask seeing the 07 models have been out for a while, but I'm wondering if the SS/SC are not being offered with Recaro seats anymore?! I haven't really had much time to look up anything about it because university has been stealing my time, but from what I could see, they aren't offering it anymore...is this true?

They only offered them in the VERY beginning to get rid of the the remaing recaros, but in short only a few were made...but they chose not to offer them anymore starting in 2007. Look on the brightside...they have MP3 player jacks 
Sorry...just a little humor there.
I love my recaro's

Also, for '07 new emission laws make it ILLEGAL to have an inline fuel filter. Too much gasoline must evaporate when you change one,

Um sorta off topic kinda, but I do believe the weight sensor in the seat for the airbag has nothing to do with height but weight. 50lbs and the air bag will deploy softer then it would at 250lbs, atleast thats what I got out of it

I may have misunderstood what u meant by geometry of the impact ( correct me if Im worng ) , but the bag cant concentrate on a specific area to when it blows . The weight sensor can only control the forcerate at which the bad explodes .
