They look great.
So why did you switch then for the SPGs? Was it for back room access? How much do they weigh vs the SPGs or stock?

How hard is it to switch seatbelts? Where did you buy them? How much were they? I didn't even know I wanted new seatbelts until I saw Mellor's yellow belts in his new Andial car. Damn that guy.

A8's are no longer available from Recaro, they have been out of comission since 00', the new Sportster is the seat to buy, it actually replaces the A8. Sonny.

I just installed Koenig K5000G seats. These are the same seats specified by Ruf for their Sport Seats. I got mine covered in excellent German leather but the cloth seats are half the price. They come complete with sliders and rails, and bolt right in without any hassles. Highly recommended if you want a sturdy, supportive seat that flips and reclines. I love 'em. Look them up on google, and if you want contact info for Koenig USA, I'll go dig it up.

But not the best design or preferred for some.

Hence the reason some don't care if they're no longer made.

Different strokes for different folks.
