Ss/ sc Recaro seats VS Turbo cobalt seats
this is true my buddys 08 ss/tc has recaros
i have an ss/tc sedan also, i actually did a seat swap with my buddies 09 ss/tc coupe so now i have all black ss/tc seats in my sedan it looks alot better!! the fronts have the lumbar support and the backs fit like a glove also and they are bucketed a little more than the sedan sedans, i love it
Anybody have an upside down pic of a coupe SS/TC seat ?
Thanks !

Bolsters , what he is talking about, is the side support of a T/C seats. You can push the sides in for a tighter squeeze or pull them out to loosen it up a little. There is a wire running in there which allows for some play. I recommend doing it very slowly and gently at your own risk because you never know it might break.
I adjusted mine from when I was bigger I pushed them further apart , yet now that I have lost weight I pushed them back towards each other so it holds me nice and snug while cornering.

hense the "GM Performance Division" tag stitched on the side...
think "Levi's" tag... only a couple hundred times cooler
The Recaro seats in the Lsj are the most comfy, I had an 07 IRL with Full leather, Was so comfy but wasnt the greatest when hard cornering! I have ridden in a TC as well as a Leather SS/SC And a recaro swapped 07 SS/SC, my honest opinion is the recaros are the best, The reason they didnt continue is because of the air bag sensor in the pass seat! Yet some 07's on the balt side had recaros and the sensor! No 07 IRL's had recaros with the sensor from the dealer!

Never sat in TC seats, but i mostly liked the few recaro seats i test drove. However, i was a bit...heavier...when i purchased my car 
...they werent as comfy. Now that i've lost a lot of weight, i wish i would have gotten a car with them...but i would have sacrificed getting an 07. So, needless to say i'll look for a set eventually.

I almost bought a Rally Yellow 07' SS/SC with Recaros, but I still had a few months of college left, and wanted to wait until I graduated.

I prefer the firmness of the recaros, but agree that the t/c seats are probably the best all-around for comfort and adjustability. Both are nearly impossible to keep looking brand new. lol

tc seats>recaros>ss/sc
i first rode in a ss/sc with recaros. they were awesome but not that great looking
got my car with the ss/sc seats which i though looked cool but yea, sliding everywhere
traded for ss/tc seats = couldn't be happier! especially when i found out you can just push the side boulsters to hold you more or less! perfect
although for driving, i gotta say i can never really find the perfect driving position where i don't feel crammed up to the cieling or hanging off the steering wheel. wish it was electric controls

true! i mean their not bad looking by any means and its cool that they have 'recaro' on them it was just the color i think. rly doesn't matter.
tc seats look great tho, IMO just wish i got black ones instead of black/grey

You are welcome. I'm not the one that figured it out though, I'm just the messenger.
