Do wonder how much longer, though, before the Japanese government starts regulating aftermarket seats for cars, the way they do wheels? I won't lie: I would pay buckets of money to get a Recaro SR 7 with side-impact airbags installed. (But only if they don't have the same damn head-rest problems.) |
SR-7s are hands down the most comfortable aftermarket seat I've ever sat in (I have tried every single aftermarket JDM Recaro and all the USDM ones), and I've driven the SR-7s quite a bit and they're just spectacular. However, modifying the seat to accept an airbag just isn't feasible (not enough space or support in the frame of the bolster to properly accommodate it).
My best suggestion is to find a Toyota or Subaru seat that has stays the same diameter and at a better angle for you and have an auto upholstery shop swap them into your headrests. (Alternatively, you can keep looking around for a shop that is willing to bend the OEM ones for you, or you could even put them into a vice and pound them "flatter" yourself).
