For the guys who have the Recaro seats in their 15’s, how comfortable are they for long trips? I’m wanting to put a set in my 4th gen and want to hear about comfortability before buying a set.

Thank You

really depends on your size/body type. I would love to have some Recaro's in my car, but after sitting in them, my shoulders are too wide and I don't fit. It is extremely uncomfortable for me to even sit in them for 10 min, must less trying to imagine sitting in them for a few hours.

So if you have already "tried them on", and like them, I would say go for it.

I haven’t yet. What’s your build? I’m 6’2 and have wide shoulders.

im 6'1 with wider shoulders and i find them ok. My only complaint is the lower back of the seat, it feels like the lumbar area is too firm. Other than that, Its comfortable.
