Are the lux seats really better than vaders? I've heard they're more comfortable and better supportive.

Yep, general consensus. Vaders don't bolster better, either, their sole strength is in their ridiculous good looks. And Vaders are heavier.

My driver's definitely does not look good. How much is a mint set of just the fronts going to cost me?

Neither have I but: you have a 3.23. You're talking about swapping a 3.38. Unless you know nothing about cars, I thought it was pretty logical that a 5% (less actually) change in final drive ratio will barely affect highway driving.

I'd say $800, at the most.

Wait, you were asking about Vaders right?

No man, I have vaders now and can't stand them. I was going to go for some sparco or recaros. Now I'm interested in some dove non heated lux seats.

Ohhhhh. Aren't you 6'7"? Phil (estoril sedan) is a tree and he says he is comfortable in his sedan seats (same as lux).

I have no idea on mint Lux seats, I have never seen any for sale in Dove that aren't beat on. I'd be $400-500 though. Are your Vaders manual adjustment?

Yea the sedan seats work well for me. Comfortable is a relative term when you're 7 feet tall though.

Yeah, 6'7"...the vaders are manual. Are any lux seats manual? The ones in this ad are mint dove's but the guy won't ship.
