Default Dc2R and Dc5R Recaro's, anybody sat in both?

iv got a set of dc2r recaros in my itr, and i love them, but i was wondering if anybody has sat in both, and if so are the dc5's any larger, like do they have more room in the thigh/*** area, are the backs talller?


only reason i ask is im a pretty big guy and could always use a little more comfort, dont get me wrong i fit great in my dc2's, but like i said could always use a little more comfort, plus im starting to like the way the dc5 recaros look more


thanks for any help

the DC5's look to be slightly bigger just by looks. i remember a thread about a guy repairing his DC5's and ordered new bolsters and i guess the inner foam on the sides is the same.

i haven't sat in DC5's, but by looks, yes, they look slightly larger

having gone straight from sitting in my friends DC5-R and then 10 seconds later sitting in my DC2-R, the DC5 equipped Recaro's are DEFINATELY bigger, and have more room in the ****/thigh area

DC5's has a tad more room but makes you feel snugger.

I owned both. Felt like both had the same bolstering, just shaped differently. Then again, I gained weight since the three year difference between owning the two seats, so I'd say the DC5s felt tighter.

The DC5R seats are bigger, which makes them a little easier to get in and out of. I prefer the DC2R seats as they fit me better.
