Default gsr leathers versus del sol seats? help me choose!

96 HX, I use it for commuting and long drives (3+ hours) weekly. I would like tighten up the suspension eventually and drive it a little more aggresively from time to time, but for now, the former pretty much describes my driving style b/c the suspension is shot.

I really need a seat with quality lumbar support. I'm 6'3", 180 lbs.

So sure I was going to get the GSR leathers, but didnt hear back from a guy so I started looking around, and now I'm thinking del sol?

The 1993 del sols have 103,000 "miles" on them, in pretty good shape, the only thing is that the cloth is beginning to pull away from the upper shoulder bolsters (supposedly this is a common problem) - Looking at around $100-150

I don't know what the GSR leathers are in, but I'm assuming I can pick up a pair in better shape than the del sols...Looking at around $300-400 - but if these are even a little more comfortable, I'l pay the price.

Maybe yall can help me decide...thanks[/align]

Well the the del sol seats are starting to mess up so go with gsr leathers. No sense in buying something that you will have to replace very soon.

Go gsr..i have gsr front/back leather seats in my 4dr and if you get the right colored gsr seats w/the right interior it will look really clean. I got grey interior w/grey gsr front/rear seats..looks sick. But if you don't have ac in the summer...they suck badly..super hott.

thanks yall...I'm going with the del sol. True, the leathers would look really really nice, especially b/c I redid my interior all black this past summer, but there is no way I'm gonnna have time to do the back seats...which would look pretty weird.

Plus, with the money I'll save I'm just gonna replace my 241,000 mile shot suspension with a little something.
