Love my Recaros, but if I hadn't ordered the car with them, the open market cost seems prohibitive vs a good aftermarket seat. Build plan is up to you, but be honest about where you are heading. I'm a combo daily driver and weekend toy so my suspension setup is mild and drivetrain is bone stock / dead nuts reliable. I've gone the street tire route for autocross classing so its a decent match with mild spring and shock combo which are good match for daily driving. My Rivals are on pace to go about 1-1/2 yrs which for me will be about 15-20 autocross and maybe 10 track events (app 15 track days). As much as I'd like to think I'm Moss, Fangio, and Fireball Roberts reincarnated, its really about developing the driving skill. I.e. getting the most seat time, and developing from that. Tires are the main consumable, so its pointless for me to buy R-spec tires when my skills are more modest.
Enjoy the ride!!!

I just want a better set of seats that hold me better in the corners and are more comfortable. I just really like the look of those recaros but I amust open. As far as suspension, I want it to handle better and not have that tendency to understeer and be a little more direct. (No I am not going into corners too hot.) Also I want it's stance to be a little lower. I feel lIke the stock rear suspensions sits a little too high. I with you on the drive train. I don't want to do anything else to it. I am happy with about 460 bhp and my increased throttle response from the tune. I may do some stuff to the tranny.So that when I am hitting high rpms the tranny doesn't move so much because of the torque and I can have cleaner shifts. It's not a huge problem but something I may consider it. I have pilot super sports and love them! I now work for bridgestone so I can get 50% off of potenza S0-4's so I think those will be my next set of tires. I am not really looking to seriously compete in auto cross. I just really want to get some better experience without paying a ton of money to go to Austin or other tracks and do track days. I want to go do track days sometime soon though.
Thanks for your advice. I will take all that I can get.
