Red is sexy time.
Black is simple but alcantara(?) if you want that.
Black/red is ok if you want to match the silver interior trim with silver belt guides.
Yellow is no.

Red is the easy choice.

Personally, I'd go with the second from left (Black with red on bolsters) simply because I have a 16 STI and they match the OEM interior pretty damn well.

Red is always straight sexytime.

Our old shop car with Recaro Sportster CS. Awesome set up. We went with black with alcantara centers. Subtle look but a big step up in driving enjoyment. Lower seating position is really nice too.

Let us know if you're interested in something similar.

I vote for "all red"

gtengr · 11-27-2017, 09:49 PM

Wes · 11-27-2017, 11:14 PM

all red (1st choice) or second one from the left

How much lower of a seating position did you get? My head currently rubs a little on the ceiling with the seat all the way back and down. I am hoping to drop low enough to clear a helmet.

I like your choice a lot!

Hey whats the deal with your door handles?

That was our problem too. With the right seat bases we were about 0.7 inches lower than stock.

I use the Recaro base frame. It comes with 3 set of screws of varying lengt with 3 Paris of washer/spacers.
