Recaro Sportster CS vs Stock - worth it?

[Sh944]

I used Recaro sliders and made my own adapters to mount them to the floor. Aside from having to measure and re-measure about 800 times before I was convinced I had it ready to drill, it was pretty straight forward. I looked at the Planted seat brackets but wasn't impressed by them. They mount the seats too high and are heavy as hell. My adapters were made from 2" flat steel that run front to back, and it lowered the seats by at least an inch.

Thank you! I wasn´t feel like making own mounts so went for Planted... So I´ll try to use it without sliders and see how low it will go...

OK so I have tried CSs and they are too wide for me. Stock seats hugs me nice, but in CSs I am floating left-right. The back has nice lumbar curve, sadly that is missing on stock seats. I will probably add some foam and re-upholster the stock seat.
