I kinda regret not buying the spec r just for the seats....but only when i am doing a motorkhana. At the track it was fine, and as a daily driver they are comfy as, but when your really throwing the car around it could definately use better thigh support...
(having said that the car still performs like anything, i won the Wrx club of queensland/subievolution motorkhana day last weekend in a virtually stock car
and i havent been driving an awd that long..)
