If you have Recaro "Style" (where "style" is the actual model name, not Recaro knock-offs) seats, I'd like to hear your feedback and also see any photos, either via email or posting to the thread. My cheap a$$ stock leather seats are the crappiest seats I've ever sat in and I believe they're adding to my back problems...

I want to hear some real user feedback before a drop over $2k to get a pair. Also, I'd like to get a better idea of how they look in a stang.

Thanks in advance!

Norm

I love my stock leather seats. ...I feel better in them than in my dad's Infiniti Q45t...But I guess my post isn't really relevant.

I'm happy to hear that. I wish they were comfortable for me. It's surprising to hear that an Infiniti has been outclassed by our Stangs...

Take care,

Norm

Technically the leather on the Infiniti is of a far better quality...but as is proven by our differences of opinion on the comfort of our leather seats, it's totally a matter of personal preference. Good luck on getting the information you need

No offense to anyone, but I don't see how ANYONE can find these seats comfortable.

Not only are the seats awful in the GT's, but the usual Mustang ergonomics are predominant. You can't even put your head back.

I agree with most. The seats suck. They are tolerable for me. The headrest sucks. Even the "4-way adjustable" ones I have in my car.

I thought I was just picky since I was driving an 03 Expedition Eddie Bauer edition before my Mustang. The seats were like living room recliners. Even the leather was buttery soft. Adjustable pedal height. Auto on headlamps. Auto dimming rear view mirror. Reverse warning. Tire pressure monitor. The list goes on...

Then again, the Mustang isn't really about creature comforts.

Hence the reason to upgrade the seats if you drive more than 10 minutes a week...

I put Cobra Daytona's in my 97 cobra vert. They are awesome seats. They cost about the same as sparco torrinos (and are of equivilant quality) but are a little wider for my 6'4 frame
