Recaro's Vs. Cup Packs

[Beef-Mc]

What would you rather have and why?

Currently looking at an RB with Recaro's but no cup packs, just looking for peoples opinions.

RECAROS!!!

You can a get stiffer suspension setup etc for a lot less that a pir of recaro's aftermarket. (Plus I quite like the standard suspension...)

That's my opinion anyway

 

[kully]

will vary , depends on yourself what you prefer to have , as you can always change your supsension set up later

I'd rather not drive around in a Fisher Price toy..

Beef-Mc, you looking to buy? I may be getting rid of my 05 RB with both packs shortly.

Seein as your local n that

 

[DrR]

Not arsed about the suspension, but silver 182 wheels are not nice IMO.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Can't make up my mind if I want to buy an RS now, or wait a year till insurance is cheaper.

Part of Fife are you from?

I'd rather have cup packs and no recaros than recaros but no cup packs, but I had to have both in the end!

I'd go with the cup backs too, then get after markets seats later on if I wanted. Recaro's can be bought for sub 1k.

Depends if you would mod the car in the future.

As above for me. If I can't find anything to replace mine I am going to bite the bullet and Recaro it up.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Just thinking that after market Recaro's are 1k plus, whilst splitter, spoiler and coilovers would be less than that.

 

[cat171]

Some on here paid around the £800 mark for their trendlines all in. There are also a whole load of other aftermarket seats out there too.

Just what I was going to say

 

[Iridium]

I'd get the Recaros. If we're honest, in day to day driving the Cup suspension makes no noticeable difference - and park two next too each other, one with, one without - the ride height difference is negligable as well to be fair. You can always add spoilers, paint the wheels and deck it on coilovers anyway - which you might want to do in the future regardless to get a really nice ride height etc.

Recaro's matey...jus put some eibach sportlines on n have the wheels done..

 

[cg172]

Although the basic Cobra misano's would be a fair bit cheaper than a set of Recaro's. And they're f'kin gorgeous...

Yep. Get the nice seats. 'Cupping' it yourself would be cheaper.
