the stock base SS/SC/NA/LS/LT seats are horrible.
The SS/SC G85 recaros are pretty decent and the SS/TC seats are very nice. Makes the car feel totally different.

Sadly not many seats will work 100% in our cars due to the airbags. But with that said you can get a great seat but it might not work with your airbags.

I would have thought mounting brackets and getting the thing in there would be a bigger issue. Can you not just rig that plug so the airbag stays on all the time? Probably just have to cross a few wires.

i had to customize my TC seats they plugged right in but i got the airbag warning light. so i had to take sensor pad thing under the cloth of my stock seats n but it in the TC seats. but it was confusing cuz the whole sensor setups are completely different. the TC one is like a gell pad btw two plastic pieces and the stock one is just this sticky pad

I do wish the TC rear was like the ions. Ive often thought about picking up an ion rear and having it redone to match the front tc seats.

Id love some Brides real recaros or some sparco's! Just dont care to see an airbag light on.

Odd i didnt have to do anything but bolt mine in. They came from a 2010 and my cars an 08. I though only the 05-06 had minor issues getting the tc seats to work.
