For 300 buck's it's kinda hard to go wrong if you like the way they look. Not my style, but whatever floats your boat.

both styles use the wheel-turn style recline. you cannot imagine how inconvenient, unreliable, and annoying they are...that is, if yours don't strip out.
you mind as well get some fixed position seats, because that recline won't work after a few months. and the back support will have a ton of slop in it.

The Wheel Turn design is actually much better than the Level pull recline feature. With the wheel turn you have an infinite amount of positions and you can fine tune where the seat it oppose to a lever where you can only set it where the lever allows.

High end seat manufactures prefer the wheel turn because it is a better design. Sparco and Recaro (Both The Highest Brand Seats Available) choose to use the wheel turn. I have never hard of a wheel turn braking on a sparco or recaro seat.

every STI and EVO comes with a wheel turn seat adjuster.

these aren't sparco or recaro seats. the problem with the wheel adjusters is the eBay brands. I actually have a bride replica seat with this exact problem in the shop right now if you'd like to see.

I heard about that issue with the bride Replicas happening. when did you buy your Bride Replicas? i remember a while back that there were alot on Ebay and people where buying them thinking they were real. Did the wheel itself break or the gear inside?

i am curious because my friends bought a set of bride replicas and the wheel adjuster didnt break but the sliders did after 2 months :(
