Default Newage sti seats

Is it just me or does anyone else find these seats uncomfortable.

Does anyone know if recaro seats out of an evo 7/8/9 will go into my ype ra?

IMO the seats in the EVO's look dreadful (unless the half leather/alcantara) why would you want to put them in a scoob?

Maybe u guys are a little 'heavier' than me... but i think the seats in my STi are awesome. Very supportive and comfortable... always getting comments on them too (even from Evo 8 owner!)

not so much uncomfortable, but i feel like i sit off to one side like it's not central to the steering wheel.

not as supportive as my old classic seats either, a bit too wide
