You can't have read the thread.

give him a break, he just wanted to work in 'sex appeal' and 'love sac' into something.

I'm 1,500 miles through a road trip and am ready to test fit aftermarket seats as soon as I get home. Ugh. These don't fit me nearly as well as the ZD6 seats.

I had a Sportster GT in my GT350 using Planted Bracket + mandatory spacer + Recaro Sliders + Recaro Sportster GT. I felt like maybe headroom was the smallest bit better, but I lost knee clearance to the wheel. I'm 6'1".

I ended up swapping back to stock.

Did you swap back to OEM due to the decreased knee room?
Was the decreased knee room directly related to better thigh support?

Hey Lelandjt, I just spoke with Wine Country. They only have one two-piece seat in stock, which is a Sparco R333.
It looks kind of cool, I guess, but I'm pretty skeptical about the quality of a seat with MSRP of $575. I'll be driving right by there tomorrow, so I'm going to check it out.
They can order whatever, so if you have interest in that, please let me know. It would be nice if at least one of us could test-fit before committing, as it would be a special order requiring a 50% down payment.

I'm gonna at least hold off on replacing seats and probably won't do it at all since it won't buy me additional space behind or drop significant weight, but I will check that place out next time I'm in Denver.
