SS leather seat vs LT (HARD)

Are the leather SS bucket seats more comfortable than the standard cloth seats in an LT?

slightly... SS/TC>Recaros>SS Leather>LS/LT
the ss leather are barely any better then ls/lt. the difference between ss/tc lux seats and the ls/lt is less then 5% better imo so its pretty damn close..

The non heated SS seats are slightly less comfortable in the winter. They take longer to warm up.

If you're going to do the seat swap, SS/TC or Recaro.

yea the SS leather is just as hard (or as stated in the winter worse!) then ls/lt cloth seats. the tc seats are by far the most comfortable though but only marginally imo. i would of liked to see Evo style seats imo but hey what do you expect for 24k sticker..

That is because they lack much in the way of supporting structure. The understructure is the same as the 2.4's and the LS seats, the only difference is that the SS seats have the embroidered logo and have the option of having color matched inserts (I don't have red inserts... mine are just black).

The Recaro seats and SS/TC's seats do have the necessary support to better handle the G-forces you would encounter under hard cornering.
