Recaro seat question

[IceCreamAssassin]

Does anyone have or know of someone local who has newer Recaro seats? Preferably the ZL1 Camaro Recaros. My dad is having a car built and it's time to pick out a good seat for both performance and long distance comfort, he just wants to sit in one and see how they feel.

Had them in my CTSV, absolutely hated them. Too stiff for me.

Maybe look into corbeau or something? I had them in the cobra and they were insanely comfortable, even on road trips.

Yeah those were awesome.

The Corbeaus in [MENTION=60]greasy[/MENTION]'s cobra are super comfy. I think they're the same as Mook's and limited to a 36" waist. Being a 34/36 waisted guy myself they feel great though.

I believe they are different. Comfortable none the less.

Want them but can not afford. I sat in some cobra R seats they weren't bad. But I don't think they are suitable for a long trip

another vote for the corbeaus.. super comfortable.

Real recaro seats are comfy, but they are $$$$$$ A corbeau is like a board compared to a similar seat made by Recaro.

Corbeau A4s are great if you want a normal seat. The FX1s are great if you want a fixed seat. I'm rocking the FX1 pros in my vette

My seats are not the A4's.

I have the Sportline RRS seats and they are phenomenal. In my opinion they have a more modern design vs. the A4's and look a little more European sports car-esque. Comfort is no issue, love the way the seats feel.

$$ isn't the issue for my dad fortunately. He's about 5' 11" 210. They are going in a 65 Corvette convertible.

Thanks for all the responses everyone, he just needs to sit in some seats, but not sure how this can be done.

North Star motor sports in barrington had some seats in stock. They're close by for you.
