I should of mentioned that I am 6'0" and had to adjust the seat just as you 
described. The Recaro's from GTi dont adjust as far down as the stock seats do. Im 
thinking about having the seat modified so I can sit lower also. If you know of a 
place that can do it, id go for it. I havent looked for a shop that can even do this 
mod as of yet but its a definate future goal.

Adam, I paid $500 for the Recaros I got and they are not leather. They were (are), 
however, in pristine condition so the value was there. $200 is a pretty good price 
depending on the condition and quality of seat. Are the
se Recaros?
