Default Got my JDM Recaros installed...

Picked them up at 1 oclock. had them in for a test by 330... They are increadable. My posture and seating position gives much better control due to the smaller size. Anyone who is middle of the road on these seats or somekind of really high quality seat... Just bite the bullet and do it!!!!!

Ill post pics tommorrow after I get home from work... I was out test drving all afternoon

stay with the black in a black car dude

Only way to go IMO. Red ones go in the CW, Silver and Milano Red. Black in black and yellow in yellow.

Just sucks that the rears dont match

You might get lucky and find canadian rear seats which come in red. Then you'll have matching seats to go with your red recaros.

recaros....

U right, sometime I do think my R gets too flashy with Red. My gf imported in for me from a TRIC classified and I didn't have a choice but I am very happy with them!

What's the difference in height? Some people complain that Recaro rails are too high but there are the rails from that H-T member in California that I would get if I were getting SRDs/JDMs. I guess the first question should be what rails you are using. Thanks, BTW, they look great and I'm sure feel even better.

If u did purchased a set came out of an JDM ITR, its height is normal. If its from CTR , just a little bit higher.
Wedge brackets for USDM SRD, I have no experience but heard it does raise higher position then OEM USDM seats.

Red recaros imo and most my friends overseas in Japan or Europe say Red is dime a dozen. The black recaros are rare because they had to order the car that way and yellow is got to be the rarest. Friend told me he's seen NM yellow recaros going for over 3k in Japan easy. But out of all the colours black shows less dirt except for white lint and the new dc5 blue recaros. Red recaros really seem to show alot wear and dirt atleast on few J spec ITR's I've seen and yellow shows everything.
