anyone have in there H4? I currently have Si wingbacks either going to get them retrimmed or something different The bottom line to this kind of query is get out there and try them, if only as a passenger. Just in the same way that you would not take someone else's word for it that Clarke's or Timberland shoes would be comfortable for you to wear. Seats with side bolsters can stop you from sliding from side to side but they also make getting in to the car, and out of it, less easy. It may not matter that much to you but would it be difficult for any passengers that you might want to, or need to, carry. Again, when you are fit and well it may not matter but if you take part in sports where you may get strains and muscle pains, getting in and out of a sports seat might not be pleasant. Another factor which is important with any seat is for the depth of the seat to match your upper leg length so that the base of your spine touches and is supported by the back of the seat and I expect most people would be more comfortable with an adjustable lumbar support that fits the curve of the spine in the lower back. Some, if not all, Recaros have an adjustable section in the front edge of the seat which can be pulled forward to ensure that the front edge of the seat is comfortable on the underside of the users knee joints. Among the least tiring seats I have used were those in the Renault 4 and 6 models which used a form of bungee cord lacing to support the seat cushion but generally I prefer a fairly firm seat cushion, especially for long journeys. Seat covers - seat materials used by Ford are subjected to many different forms of test, including a test to make sure that the fabric does not abrade mink fur. I don't expect that you would wear a mink coat in the car but I mention it to show the extremes to which Ford goes to make sure the fabrics are fit for the purpose - maybe there is even a peanut butter test. If you get a seat recovered you would be wise to get hold of factory quality material or Ford supplied seat covers. However those who might choose to trim their cars with mink can rest safe knowing that if they use Ford car seat material for their trousers they won't get worn out by the trim.
