Non Recaro seats and tracking
Hello, I am considering getting a 2019 2SS A10. I really like the Recaro seats but they are very hard to find with A10 (usually come as part of 1LE package which is not available for A10 yet); are regular non-Recaro seats suitable for tracking? I’m about 5’11” 150lbs. Just want to make sure I won’t be tossed around.
Thanks. |

May I ask if yours has Recaros? My guess is not because it’s not 1LE. Are you happy with it?

The cloth seats in mine are pretty supportive IMO. Probably depends on body type too.

I didn't plan to seriously track the car and it's my daily so I didn't order the recaros. They can definitely be ordered as an option without adding the 1LE package. My stock 2SS seats are nice and bolstered enough for a few hot laps and a few passes down the strip for the very few events I might do with the car while I have it.

If you order the car, you could order recaros and the Big brake Kit and have a very capable track car. You can also get the 1LE springs and swaybars as a dealer addon if you order magnaride on your car. If you want the wider tires from the Zl1 or 1LE, the classifieds here have factory wheels or wheels and tires for sale a lot as folks put after market wheels on. I picked up a ZL1 set with 700 miles on them.

I think the regular seats would do just fine on the track.
Spend the extra time to find an A10 with Recaros, or custom order the car. I ordered mine without the 1LE but with Recaros and the A10. The Recaros are one of my favorite differences between my old 2016 2SS and my 2019 2SS. Ordering is a one of a kind experince, a little difficult during the process but well worth it to have the exact car you want.
