Does anyone think that this would be a good inverstment? I know that the R32 seats are mde by Recaro(and Leather), but that is all i know. Im trying to get something with more bolster so i stop sliding out of the seat in hard turns. Also trying to keep the leather look in the car.

if you can get ahold of them for cheap... VW owners generally jump on them when they come up and they aren't cheap.

aside from them having a big R32 stitched in the upholstery haha... for the price you'd pay for a new set you could get basically whatever you want however...

Get some WRX Limited seats... the newer ones are available in leather...?

Leather is bad for bum grip anyway.

i dont know if they would mount correctly. they are recaro seats, so i would think just get the correct rail. leather is not so good unless you got nice big bolsters to hold you in.

Unless you are bare-assed. Then the grip is great....I'd imagine. :lol:

try some 02-03 WRX seats. There's a reason the US 04+ WRX seats were changed...fat americans couldn't fit in the old seats because of the bolsters :lol:

those seats are prob going to be around 2k from the dealership i hope you know lol. and junk yards dont get new cars like this now days... you'll have to find a high end salvage yard, and still pay an arm and a leg. good luck on the hunt, but im with others, i think wrx or sti limited seats would be way cooler. direct bolt on too.
