Nice! Someone else with Milano 2s!

I have the black/grey ones. They match my rear RS 3.0 seats pretty well and both are signed by Adam Saruwatari on the back.

Question for all you seat owners, do aftermarket seats sit lower than stock? If so how much. also the corbeau a4's, are they comfortable. I spend an ever increasing amount of time in my car and I am trying to make it as comfortable as possible.

Oh I didn't mean the pressure sensors, I ment for those that have the airbags in the seats, that resistors are the only way to "deal" with it.

No, no. Like you I had seat airbags too so I just did the resistor bypass on the airbag plugs (yellow ones) and took out the other sensors (driver's seat position and the passenger occupant sensors) and plugged them back. No srs light = SRS a-ok!

Awesome collection, man. those!

Did you custom-made those "Recaro" headrests for the back seat? Very nice.

the seat height is definitely noticeable and so is the ride quality. on a 6 hour drive to the coast for a car show it definitely got a little uncomfortable. but for just an hour or 2 it isn't that bad.

Only way buckets would look good int he back is if you did some nice CF or fiberglass moulding to make it all look proper.
