Lots of positive comments about the Recaro seats, however I'm looking forward to hearing what owners think after six or twelve months. In my experience this type of seat is ideal for a race or rally car where driver needs to be held securely in position - hence the large side wings and hip hugging contours.
However, possibly not so suitable if:
1. Getting in and out often on a slow and knarly track or
2. On a long trip where you might need to move around a bit in your seat.
A few colleagues had Recaro's fitted to their work 4WD's (after experiencing back trouble from the original Toyo seats) but after about 12 months were fed up with them due to above points.
Personally, I find the std Defender seats and seating position quite comfortable - even more so that the D2 seats.
