mine was done as warranty service, made it a little better, but it didn't last too long. I found a good deal on a Recaro and replaced it. Am very happy now! Check group buys, someone had one going on Corbeau seats. For $450 you can get a whole new seat and brackets that will fit better, reduce weight, and not flex like the stock SVT seat. In Europe, Ford put Recaros in the ST200.



The problem with the driver's seat in my EO is me -- 6'5" and 240 lbs. The seat is gradually losing its support. Not sure at this point how much my goal to shed about 20-25 lbs ballast will improve things.

Do you or anyone else know how well Recaros hold up to above-average driver weight?
