I swapped from base seats to recaros. They have both been a struggle for me to be comfortable in to be honest. I’m 6’2” 200lbs athletic build. I agree I feel I’m never quite in the seat but on it in the recaros, but I’ve found a decently comfortable position after I broke the bolsters loose. I found a thread on the focus st forums where someone removed the plastic bolster holders within the seat. This let the bolsters “open up more” or stretch when you sit in them. I didn’t wanna disassemble the seats so I just pushed on them and you could hear a subtle pop. Sure enough they weren’t digging into my ribs, kidneys and thighs as much. The Recaros do improve the look of the interior and I would choose them again if I had to, the materials are great and still look as good as when I installed em. Good luck with your decision.
