Default JDM Recaro Install - happy dance !!!

Bounce #1....I installed the S-tune system to get rid of the terrible suspension bounce... and understeer -- and the outcome was as expected... GREAT.

Bounce #2....I have never been happy with the stock cloth seats since the lumbar support is very bad... and..... the seats are too soft -- which creates a different bounce and sliding -- especially during hard cornering.

So... I had the Japan-spec Recaro installed -- 2 years old and used in my previous Z32 (the new Recaro rails for the Z are finally out in Japan for JDM seat models).

All I can say is...

The driving experience has increased 2-fold due to the excellent driving position, lumbar-side-hip support, and firmness. There is no bounce whatsoever -- just pure suspension doing its work.

I give this the SiFuLao's thumb up.

How much did you paid for a seat yen or dollars.
