It's all about personal preference. I can't stand how leather will get stuck to your skin when it is hot out and your sweating.

My personal preference is the non-SSL seats. The SSL's leather isn't bad, but it's not really good either. The first time I sat in them, I didn't think it was worth the price difference, and even though I wanted everything else in the package (HIDs, Infinity sound system, sunroof), the leather was enough to make me not get it, especially considering how decent the stock seats are.

I prefer with regular GSR seats because:

1) Hot *** weather in full leather seats = Stuck *** on seats and hot seats when you get in the car on a hot day <<<=== Main reason
2) GSR seats lets your *** breathe
3) If you fart, you won't make as much sounds in a GSR seat due to suede. (Not that you would really care if you are alone in the car.) LOL! =P

For looks I would go SSL, but for comfort I would go GSR.

GSR FTW! Since my car is a daily driver.

lol yeah they look very nice but the gsr seats are fine. and if its not hot and u take a fast turn its easier to slide in those seats. the suede holds u better IMO.

I think the IX GSR seats are better then the leather but the VIII GSR seats are ugly in my opinion. I just dont liek the purplish color on a car thats not purple.

Like everyone else said the leather will stick to your *** and the GSR seats I think are way more comfortable as well.

Well Id love to have the Suede and Leather seats but having a 2 year old and it being my DD, leather just seems like a better choice for tip over sippy cups lol

So when hes a lil older Ill more then likly switch them out but as far as VIII GSR seats I prefer the SSL
