i do like my seats but i can't pass up a bargain now can I?  :wink:  plus the front Recaro's are much more supportive than the vw sport seats

strangely the only difference i can see with the rears is having Recaro stitched into them  :shocked:

Yeah, I guess the front ones are where it's at.  Who is honestly cares about the rear passengers having support  :evil:
