TheBlubaru Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've been looking to upgrade my drivers side seat and found a pretty good deal on a Recaro Speed seat locally. I want a seat that's comfortable for a daily but good for the occasional AutoX etc. I was just curious if anyone had run it and what their opinions were?

gordata Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I am looking at upgrading the seats in my 08 Legacy but have found very little info on here. I also would like to pick up a Recaro Speed seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordata Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks robinlsb but that's on the older body. The legacy is comparable to the GR 08 and up STI's not the 02-07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlsb Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks robinlsb but that's on the older body. The legacy is comparable to the GR 08 and up STI's not the 02-07. It's the same seat, with the same issues in terms of installation and comfort and air bags. "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence."

boxkita Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've been looking to upgrade my drivers side seat and found a pretty good deal on a Recaro Speed seat locally. I want a seat that's comfortable for a daily but good for the occasional AutoX etc. I was just curious if anyone had run it and what their opinions were? with the issues around airbags, seat heaters, sensors, etc, your best bet may be to have the current seat redone to suit your requirements. Swapping the leather to grippy cloth and redoing the bolsters will help alot. If you can increase the hip & side bolsters, you'll stay planted much better on the autox course. you might also find using a schroth 4 point harness a workable solution without redoing the seat. For street driving, I've found the seats really comfortable. For track use, they are lacking. I used a micro-fiber towel on the backrest to provide friction. As long as it stayed in place, I did pretty good. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlubaru Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thank you! looks like I'm just going to hold off on seats for a little while and hopefully get the stock seats redone/ Spec B seats eventually.
