the leather seats are nice in the S but not as hugging as my old recaro srd. i havent been able to find any brackets or even know if it fits in it at all.

i think the stock seats are rather well shaped, believe it or not i recently got a cg lock, and it really helps to glue you to the seat. I would either keep the stockers, or get some <$300 "racing seats", you will put back the stockers when you get tired of them.

BUT a Recaro SPG will fit! Those seats are side mount and beautiful. It is non adjustable seat but you can get enough adjustability fiddling around with brackets (Taitec rail if you can find them anymore, Mugen rail if you can afford them, etc.)

wow that is very good to know about the seat

i am not a leather fan actually anyways

I know there are a bunch of Sparco seats that fit...
Sparco Rev
Sparvo Rev 2
Sparco Navi (I think Sparco makes it)
One of these is adjustable. But honestly, how often do you adjust the reclining position in your S? I have done it once. Aftermarket seat brackets that you need to buy if you get aftermarket seats will have mounting points which will let you angle the seat to get a reclined feel. Honestly I think that is all you need.
Bride also makes an adjustable one as well.
And I agree leather sucks... but that is a personal preference thing.

unless you really race the car OEM seats are just good enough
