They're definitely "designed for track use, Chris, no question about that. The TA cars didn't have them and it was noticeable. Well, at least my car didn't them. But I'd say for pleasure driving, anyone heavier than maybe your weight will be uncomfortable in a short period of time. FWIW, my wife hates them. :-) Figures, right?

I agree 100%. Once you go into the 200-220 are depending on height it I think as another member said, you sit on them rather than in. They do their job for sure, thankfully my wife thinks they are comfortable. LOL

The leather trimmed Recaros are much nicer then the 350 Recaros. They seem a bit wider then the 350 seats. If your Weight is normal for your height I would definitely get them. They look really good IMO.

This is exactly correct. The 500 recaros are much much more comfortable than the 350. My fiancée even last night said “these seats are really comfortable” comparing them to the R recaros

I owned a 2020 GT350R and now a gt500. Had / have Recaros and the ones in the gt500 are far far better looking and a lot more comfortable. Def go with them. You will not regret it.

I had factory leather Recaros in my '13 S197 and I ordered the Recaros in my 2020 GT500. I do track the car and they are light years ahead of the old Recaros. They are for sure more snug and tighter fitting, but not uncomfortable by any means. I am 6' 1" about 230 with a 36"ish waist. I don't have a problem with them. So glad I went ahead and ordered them. I have taken the car on some long drives (multiple hours) and they are totally comfortable and have taken it to the track and they performed well!

6’4” 195lbs fit just right in those 2020 Recaros. If I were 220 lbs probably not .imo
