Not as bad as EVO X Recaro's, as a larger dude who has driven both i fit much better in STI-R seats that X seats

Although both are made for tiny cock having asian people, not big birtha Aussies that have eaten 1 to many pies!

I'm just under 90kg and 180cm tall. I didn't find the Recaros tight, so I reckon someone bigger than me me would fit ok, up to a certain point. Go and sit in one to suss it out. They felt pretty comfy to me. Evo X seats were hard as fuck in comparison.
Is it the blue one at subi wangara?

When we were looking the guy in Ossie Park didn't have any with the Recaros, so he tried to talk us out of them. He was actually quite rude to my wife who could loose a few pounds off her rear! But we ended up buying from City Subaru, who had our car there with the Recaros already fitted. So glad we went for them, and the wife has no issues either
