Most people will tell you myself included that the brembos are well worth the package. You can get a pp car without recaros, I did and it's a lot cheaper car. You could always put in aftermarket that would be cheaper and a lot lighter.
A perfpack gt would be an okay dd..If I could do over I'd look a little harder for a non recaro car. But thats only because of my recent weight gain(bad knees). The recaros will still do the job for a hefty guy. Just that when you relax in the seat they just feel to prominent on the ribcage. Now...when your putting the distance on a camaro in the twisties the recaros are a welcome addition!
Wasn't a fan of the recaros in the slightest on the S550. Too tight in the shoulders and back. Love some of their others but missed the mark on these. Oh what id give for a PP in auto with the standard seats though....
Wanting the full package of it here. Heh. Wheels, cooling, brakes, gauges, etc..,. Just sans the giggle stick. That's what blown knees will do to ya though...
