Default Anybody sat in these before?

Sat in Evo VIII Recaro seats before? Im thinking about picking up a set for my car, but wanted to see how they sit/fit vs. ITR Recaros.

The EVO Recaros look like the leg bolsters look much less higher so holding power in the hips looks comprimised versus the JDM ITR Recaro's. Or are they about the same? Are they bigger or smaller that the ITR's?


Thanks.

it really depends on body type, i got more of an athletic build with tree trunk wide legs and really wide shoulders, i like the evo reacors a lot more than the type r one... they fit me better, if your a smaller guy you'll probably fit better in the ITR seats but you might like both it depends how much room you like to have, hell if your local you can come sit in mine.

I have sat in them before. They hold u ok around your sides but the bolsters at your legs are not high enough. i have ITR ones and they are def twice the seat. go for ITR's. I am about 5foot 9 and a slim . The evo recaros would not give me the support that is required to hold me firmly in place

see. im not a small guy either. Ive got large/wide frame to begin with, but ive put a some pounds too. Right now, ive got JDM EG Sir-S seats & they sit/hug fine. The ITR recaro's seat bottom bolsters are too slim for my thighs, so if these EVO's sit nice for a larger frame, then i might pick them up.
