Today I installed the ZL1 seats I picked up from a forum member earlier this week. The Recaro seats were the only option the previous owner didn't check and they will be much appreciated on the track. I haven't seen any 2SS 1LE Recaros since I started looking so the ZL1 are a good option that lets me retain heating/cooling and memory function without swapping hardware and harnesses. They bolted/plugged right in and work perfectly as expected.
Initial impressions are that the Recaro seats are much firmer and less comfortable than the stock leather seats. I say this as a 6' 165lb driver who found the stock leather seats to be the best I've ever experienced for longer drives. I hope the Recaro are nearly as good in that regard but I'm not holding my breath on that. The Recaros are so much better at holding for corners so hopefully no more seatbelt locking will be necessary to hold me in place on the track. Also headroom is improved by over 1" which means no more helmet rubbing the headliner.
I'm thinking of dyeing the white/grey stitching in the rest of the interior red to match. Also thinking of selling my leather seats so I don't have to store them and risk messing them up but don't know how much interest there is out there.
