Default Front Seats

I've searched the forums, yet found little that addresses something that was a minor irritation to me, and now it's gotten worse with suspension mods---the total lack of lateral support in the GS front seats. They don't seem much better in terms of support than what is on the LS.
Has anyone found a quality aftermarket solution? I'm not talking about some ricer carbon fiber race seat that should be in a Civic--but something like what you see in the M3 or S4.

If Recaro is good enough for them, it should be good enough for you.

Agreed, but in looking at the Recaro web page, it doesn't appear there is a direct fitment or adapter available for Lexus GS. That is why I asked the question. Anyone out there have Recaros in their GS?

I think you are going to find that is going to be the problem. The GS just doesn't sell in enough quantity. They used to have a universal bracket and then get yourself a good installer to make it work. You will probably lose some of the functions but if staying in the seat is your priority, the Recaros can't be beat. Of course using them with stock seat belts is a bit tacky. Nothing like letting a valet park your Lexus with a four point harness.

It is a GS weakness but remember that the GS is not meant to race like the M3.....have the need for speed do we?
