I want to sit in your seat
Apologies in advance - this is a weird one. I'm about to order a 2014 SS 1LE as soon as the order-book opens back up on Feb 11th. But I want the Recaros and my wife has a bad back that likes some seats and hates others. Her Tribeca is great, if she spends more than 30 minutes in our Accord, she might not be able to walk straight for a few days.
So is there anyone in the greater NYC area that has the Recaros that wouldn't mind letting my wife sit in them for about 20 minutes to see how her body reacts to them? I promise she's clean Just a warning, I'm going to cross-post this over in the 1LE forum as well since they might have the Recaros. |

Just wanted to say I feel for your wife. I've got chronic issues with my back too. Best of luck with the seats and I hope she can find some relief.

I called half a dozen dealers today and while a few had a ZL1 or two, none of them had Recaros. I did get hold of a dealership in Jersey that called me back an hour after I called him to let me know that he did have a 1LE on the lot (the only 1LE that ANY of the dealerships I called had - most had no idea what it was). I informed him that it wasn't the 1LE I was looking for, but the Recaro option. He fumbled a bit but insisted that it does, so I will try to head out there this weekend. I'm asking here just in case that doesn't pan out. Time is running short.

Harder to find a good therapist than a dozen sets of Recaro seats thats for sure. She'll have been to 5 therapy appointments before this week is out. No one can tell her why a physically fit, active woman in excellent health has the number of muscular issues she has. She can't do the grocery shopping any more because lifting a bag she might pull a muscle. Every therapist we see keeps trying to address the symptoms and none of them have found, or even taken a shot at finding as best I can tell, the root cause

My local dealer didn't even know about the recaros until I educated them last week!!!
And that was the guy that orders the cars for the dealership!! WTF?

Sounds like your wife could benefit from a holistic approach. |

And you are correct in with the idea she should sit in the seat. There are many different potential problems that could have different effects. A Recaro might kill one person's back and help another.

Find a D.O. for her (who actually has an OMT practice) and you will get the best of both worlds. Quite a few in the NYC area, especially with Touro being right there!
