I took the heat pads out of my leather seats and put them in my TC seats, works great.

I had Corbeau Forza's in the old balt. They were ok just not made for long trips. I would love to get some Status SPA seats for the sedan.

Probably save some weight by replacing the heated seats though. Not sure about the balt ones, but in most cars they are heavy suckers.

Because they don't have the side bolstering that my seats have.

Sparco R100's in red and black. I had custom brackets made so they fit perfectly and at a lower height for helmet clearance. Also don't use harness's unless you have solid back seats because if a reclining seat fails you might not be living anymore in an accident.

Agreed.

It's just like buying rims for a TC. You need to buy super expensive aftermarket rims to actually be a upgrade.
