Recaro seat ?

Alright guys,

I've searched and maybe i have not put in the correct words but, what's up w/ the recaro seats?

My girlfriend brought this up to me as well. We were taking a trip to the beach the other day and she said, "my head doesn't feel right on these seats".

It's like i can't put my head back correctly on the seat. I feel like i need a pillow to keep my head straight and looking at the road and not pointed up.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Does Recaro make a matching pillow that can strap into the holes?

Check Ebay and you wil find them... I have seen these everywhere. Just type in Recaro Headrest or Sparco head rest and something should comeup on ebay

no offense to ur gf, but that made me chuckle. chix just don't get this stuff . the recaros r shaped like real racing seats (for the most part) hence u don't get that sleeping comfort option. i started sleeping across the back seat instead (for whatever occasions) because of that same lack of head support in the front seats.

The Evo is a driver's car. I don't think anybody rests their head on the headrests. You need to be alert when you are in an Evo. Or any car for that matter.

Maybe that extra space between your head and seat is there for when you wear a helmet!

It won't fit through the harness holes but it is a strap-on. All "racing seats" have the headrest area set back for helmet clearance and there are pillows available.
neck pillows

My girl said the same thing? On a long road trip once, i laid my head back and realized this as well. My 350Z is perfect for some head rest action. Oh well... Doesn't bother me none.

My girlfriend started to complain about the my seats. I told her "Only you could complain about fricking recaro seats, one of the best in the market. What are you going to tell me next, the steering wheel is too small?"

DUR DUR DURRRRR
Racing Seat=Seat you use to race with, when racing at a track you are required to wear a helmet.
