After 5 Home Depot trips for miscellaneous hardware bits and patiently waiting for my Recaro Pole Position and seat accessories to arrive from 3 different parts vendors, I finally installed it (Only took like a month lol). I sit maybe 5-10mm lower compared to the OEM seat, which is good because I dislike how low @momentum.rs ‘s seats are, just personal preference. I might lower it one notch after some more seat time, and obviously I don’t slide side to side anymore because of the more aggressive bolsters. The shoulder bolsters are semi aggressive too, to the point where it’s uncomfortable keeping your right hand/arm on the center arm rest. It’s more comfortable keeping both hands on the steering wheel and/or the shifter. I feel more engaged with the car, and based on the seating position/angle, the shifter is now in the perfect location for my hand to reach. Also, I now have a better feel for the pedals, because of how the seat shapes the lower part of your torso and legs. My rev-matching is now easier than before, and it’s easier to do it more consistently. I don’t have a need to recline the seat back or forward, and I feel my core working now. Oddly enough, it’s a very comfortable seating angle at the same time. Just overall, it improves my posture, shifting, and improves the driving aspect of the car. 10/10 would buy again.
