Anonymous Unregistered A	I have sat in a pair of Airbag Recaros and normal Recaros in a LE and felt no difference! But you know more than me so I shall believe you Konig Seats are nice. I remember sitting in some black and silver leather ones in a R5 GTT, very hard but sexual. Cant find them anywhere though!

The seat release mechanism is more aesthetically pleasing on the airbag ones as it follows the contours of the seat whereas the standard one has a lever sticking out.

Its true ask Scooby If we follow this argument again then I believe the outcome is that none of the seats in the LEs, Pluses or some [6]s are officially Recaro.

Mark was trying to get it installed into coops and I was going to be the ginnea pig IIRC. Didn't happen for some reason..
