I've had the Katzkin Black/suede kit in my car since 2003. It held up perfectly over the years. It helps tremendously on the track to keep your butt from sliding during cornering. I had the supra seats and slid around even with those before I put suede inserts in them. I have just recently upgraded to recaro with suede inserts. The vent feature is soooo nice!

they are ventilated and heated

Recaro Sport Topline. Finally broke down and spent some money where I spend most of the time with the car. They are extremely comfortable. I'm 6'3" 225lbs and they fit me perfectly.

Just to stay on topic here, Suede is very easy to take care of. I use a large pencil eraser and some spray such as scotch guard for shoes. I can say that the suede definitely wears better than regular leather and is more comfortable..

cool velocity thanks for the info , I need to either re-dye my leather with some leatherique or have my seats re -wrapped in something, at $349.00 for suede its quite tempting.

and I think im finally getting a little tired of the tan interior, might be time for a new color as well
