WR1 Seats -> Spec D Leather
 

This isn't technically a for sale post, I just wanted some opinions.

I suffer from back ache following a gym accident, Im thinking leather might let me move myself around a bit easier when driving to get comfy. Though have never sat in Spec D leathers.

Any thoughts on this?

If I were to proceed, where would be best to source a Spec D interior including arm rests?

I find my Spec D seats a bit narrow, the base I mean. Not in the same league as the standard STi black and blue alcantara seats.

However, I'm no lightweight, so you might be ok.

Im no lightweight either bud so glad you mentioned!! By the sound of it Id probably make the bolsters wear!

I have back problems and a lot more to boot but have never noticed any benefits from owning cars with leather seats. I have had leather seats in my cars for about 6 years and would rather not have had any. The cars ive had came with heated seats and with one a/c seats but despite this the summer months would leave me with a burnt arse/legs and the winter freezing my arse off.

Someone is telling me to try the Hatch seats, perhaps I should rule out leather and stick with original Hawkeye alcantara or Hatch seats

I suffer back problems aswell bud, from my personal experience i'd advise against leather seats, I found them to be very slidy, my arse would slide around whenever I chucked it into a corner and couldnt maintain a comfortable driving position. That being said im borderline stick man and weigh F'all which could have something to do with it. But never had that issue with fabric/suede seats.
