Recaro seat satisfaction survey...
How do you guys like the Recaros? Especially those of you that are over 6" and 200lbs. Do they hold you in well enough during hard cornering? How bout on long drives...do they punish your lower back and rear?

They are very similar to the ones my wife had in her BMW. They hit me in the kidneys and are a little lacking in the lumbar area but over all they make me stay put and that is what its' all about for me with this car.

I'm 6'2" and about 175 pounds. The seats are great and comfortable. I could After a long drive, I love how it molds my body when I step out of the vehicle. SOLID.

Feel great for street driving, but...
Last driving event I went to, halfway through the day, my legs started hurting. Couldn't figure out why... next session went out and realized it was because the seats were not holding me in place. I was too focused on driving to see that I was propping my legs against the door(right turns) and center consule(left turns) to keep from sliding out of the seat.

I just went on a 6 hour drive today, from sac to tahoe to reno back to sac and my back was a little sore, but overall I think the seats are good they could use a little more lower back support, but I did not buy the evo for luxury I bought it because its a race car.

i agree with plokivos, i am 6'2 250 and getting out of the beast seems to have smooshed the pad a little because i have noticed that i am always having to reclamp the damn side bloster to the seat frame if that makes sense

I think the seats are damned comfy. They really hug you! I wiggle around a little sometimes, but I'm pretty small I guess. Definitely not over 6' or 200lbs. 
But since I'm a girl, it's okay to be small. haha
