Very nice seats indeed:)

You might be able to find the right shade of a marker/die to match the logo to your green color, I have done red and other colors and it held up really well.

Will you have a set of stock Recaro seats you can help somebody out with?
That would make somebody really happy if so.

Recaro and Racetech are my favorite seats, both are the most comfortable and supporting in their particular versions than all others I have tried, owned, etc.....I did find a nice set of Sparco seats I was checking out, usually they are very uncomfortable to me but that set was pretty darn good.

I was sure tempted to swap out the factory Recaro for fixed back seats but to many old injuries are making that less fun over the years.

Corner balanced the car tonight and made the camber at -2* so much tedious crap but hopefully we'll worth it going to go get the toe at zero in the morning

Cool, corner balance, more camber, all good stuff to go faster and more consistently:)

You might want to test different toe settings, sometimes a tiny bit of toe in is needed on the street to keep the car from following crowns in the road and more high speed stability and less general wandering but sometimes a little toe out is best for the track.

I have had one setting work really well for all things but on some cars there was quite a bit of difference so I would mark the parts well and then adjust as needed for track, street, autocross, etc.

Changing camber always changes the toe considerably and I ran a lot of camber on the track, more than I wanted on the street on some cars so I would change it at events, pre marked, it was a relatively quick job to go back and forth.

On this car I have it setup well and leaving it as is since I do not drive a ton of miles though watching the inside tire wear and will rotate as needed.

---------------

Next track event you are going to?

Saving 15lbs a seat and have sliders the sliders weigh 5 lbs a seat so you could save some more for a little sacrifice

Great, I will likely just get the passenger side since I already build the drivers side close to 2 years ago:)

A fairly intense undertaking to say the least but I do not recall taking anything out of the interior to do the job:)

Yea didn't think that rear bushing was going to be as much work as it has become
