That's the price for 2 seats. If you were after 1 seat, then it's $2k landed, which is close to new Recaros anyway.

Sounds more decent

No offense but i dont mind the DC5R recaro buckets, i wouldnt mind if they could recline but as i have a lower back issue, they actually suit me very well

how is that not practical, thats your opinion lol.

yes imo my bad
and it is practical in yours it may seem

nah like just saying, if someone can afford 2k seats each seat. then it will work out practical.

i on the other would just buy a pair of zeta I fixed back, set of rails, thats like 1 grand. and you got 2 proper racing seats.

Your price is used though. The prices I'm seeing are brand new. So there is no comparison. It's like comparing someone who bought a used S2k for 35k vs someone who bought a 2009 model for $75k. Of course the dollar value will be better for the used car.

Gias Sport is one of the more expensive ones, that's why they look hectic. If your budget is tighter, you can get this instead:

Bride Digo Type R. I've seen $1500 landed each. Of course, if you find one used, go for it!

you pay for what you get... recaros are fine both recline or fixed..

but if i did have the money.. mate Bride Low Gias with Bride super low rails those seats hold you soo soo well

I agree with you. If I found Gias Sport used, I'd buy it ASAP. New, well, there is a reason why my car still doesn't have Gias Sport seats in it. 2k is still a lot of money. Hehehe.

Edit: Just wanted to add, you will see many auctions of Gias Sports on ebay for $1000 to 2000 per PAIR. They will even tell you how to identify real Bride Gias seats (i.e. silver instead of black FRP back for the Gias Sport model), but they are still fake because they are made in Taiwan.
