    I think you're assuming that the Scheel-Mann come in pairs... they don't

    I like my mastercrafts for the old tacoma, but I'm probably gonna go with scheel-manns for the front of the land cruiser.

    I love the seat talk.
    This is something I need to do and soon.

    I don't want to hassle with 3 sets of seats trying to figure it out because the seats need to help my back not cause more issues.

    Heated seats are nice, but Air Conditioned seats are where it's at especially on those hot days in the desert

    I had a 2010 forester for a while and definitely liked the heated seats

    I've only sat in WRX seats and found them lacking padding and very cheap/light feeling.

    I have a Forester and I love those seats, that's why I put Forester seats in my Tacoma.

    Yea it does suck that you can't really test out any of the aftermarket suspension seats in a store.
    Unless you live close to where they're made. That and 4wheelparts, but even they are limited as to what seats they have in the showroom.
    It is kind of unnerving making a big purchase like that only going based on information you've found online about them.

    but then again on the upside, it's not like you're gonna get some hot trash when you're spending that kind of money (most of the time)

    My brother had a WRX, I never rode or drove it, but the seats were not that comfortable looking.

    Four wheel parts was actually pretty cool and ordered in a mastercraft seat so I could sit in it before I bought.

    Got the Trail gear case today and started putting it together when I realized that I didn't need to press on that little gear on counter shaft. So, had to redo that. Hopefully done in morn. Stupid detail that I had no clue about.
