Which would you choose?

Post by SagaTypeR »

Well, next month I'll be getting some extra money and I'm trying to decide if I should either get the JDM red Recaros or the JDM front end :?
I've been debating on which one I should get first. Which one would you choose?

Ummm, this is a tough one ... but easy to work out!

If you get the JDM front end, more people will notice ... where, if you get the Red JDM Recaros, fewer people will see!

If you want heads to turn (though they do with ITR's) I would go for the JDM front end!

You're not exactly comparing apples to oranges here, the JDM front end conversion is well over $3K, where as the JDM red recaros you can get for ussualy under $1500.

Aside from that, my understanding, though I've never owned them, the red recaros are a pain in the ass to keep clean, and I'm not sure, but I think you even need to get the JDM ebrake cover, and lose your arm rest for clearance.

Either wayI would go JDM front end, it looks trick as shit, and the seats in an ITR stock are pretty comfortable any way.

If you're gonna get recaros, get the JDM ones in black that look like ours....

Later,

If you do go for the Recaros get RED but I still reckon JDM front is better ... especially if you can afford it!

I have heard sroties of the recaros not holding your butt as well as usdm. If you are going to spend money on recaros, you should just get bride seats! If it were me, I think I would take the front end conversion. .....O ya, then throw the mugen front end, hood, and side skirts on it so it is effectively worth the money. just my opinion though.
