Not bad at all.

I was already drolling over the Recaro's that Chalon has on Joefocus.

Yeah, but the guy quoted $250 for shipping, and a replacment airbag would've been another $170 or so, plus the work to get the leather sewn back up.

Still a good buy for whoever got them.

Yes, but you don't sit in normal seats like you do in Recaros. Of all seats I've sitten it, the EAP Recaro's are the most comfortable racing bucket ever made.

ive got recaros in my other shelby they are nice but you can buy them for less then what those are going to be in the long run. plus some companys make more comfortable seats that give you just as much support for much less. JMHO not baging on any one just thinking i would go another route for that kind of green.

Yeah, I can see the point obviously financial wise. Thats why I don't have 2 sets...lol. The wagon can go without Recaros...LOL But there is no way you could compare a Recaro seat to a re-hopelstered stock Focus seat IMO...

Actually, if she had White Recaro's, that would be the top interior. EVAR!!! But I don't care, stock seats suck ass, no matter what you do to them. They could look like shit, be faded, and ripped, and if they are comfortable, I'll use them over a set of brand new stock seats.(ala my Corbeaus'. LOL)

Shipping is spendy, But front and rears for $305.00 seems pretty cheap, I'd pay that for "stock" SVT seats.
