Out goes the spare, in goes the shelf. Yes controversial choice but I don't really drive the car far anyway and when I do, I can put the spare back in. Either way have AAA to cover if anything does happen.

Don't worry about not having a spare. I put 112k on mine and drove across the country numerous times. Most accidents occur closest to home. I used the spare once, in town, close to home. I think most people like to imagine a nightmare situation where they're thousands of miles away from civilization, wishing they had a spare. That's not reality at all though. Typically you're driving less than 100 miles a day. If you're going on a long trip, sure. Bring the spare. Otherwise it's fine.
Car looks great!

I actually tried this back in the day with my stock springs and it felt as if the rear became more bouncy.

The left case of the cover is for the car books & manuals. About the difference in acceleration, I am not sure how you can feel it. A total save of 15-20 lbs. is not that much. You'll need at least 100 lbs. to have a noticeable difference. The latter weight save will give you an acceleration increase of about +7hp. |

I'm currently contemplating putting in a set of Recaro Sportster CS (some will say finally); however, I will say I have decided NOT to install the actual STi branded ones from the JDM tS, partly because (1) the red and black trimmed version is not available for purchase and I refuse to add the grey ones, and (2) it makes more sense to add a "generic" version of the seats as it is easier to either transfer them to a future car and/or sell them at a later time. I do have a specific set in mind (I'm not just purchasing the base "black" trimmed version), but still planning a few things before I pull the trigger (there's still a chance I will decide not to).
Anyone happen to know how easy/hard it is to transfer the passenger occupancy sensor from the stock seat to the recaro?

I think Trap69 installed aftermarket recaro sportsters in his and might be be able to help you out?? My STi ones came with the sensors installed.
