  • What do you think of these?

    I am looking at buying some new seats for the GTI and I found these. They are Recaro Trophys, and a GTI rear bench. Both have been recently reupholstered professionally.

    I could get a set of Torino Sparco seats for around the same price, which are newer, and potentially better.

    I think that the older Recaros would "fit" my car better so thats a plus, but the Sparcos are more "performance".

    Anybody have first hand experience with either of these seats?

          Did they hold you in your seat pretty well?

              the trophy is one of my favorite seats ever.
              sitting in a Sparco Torino however is a REALLY nice feel. it's too bad that they have the "racer dude" look to them though (probably not what you want).

              between the 2,.. either will be great.

                      I love my recaros. I believe mine are the same frame, but power. I hate sitting in any other car now.
