If you wanted to fit standard CF recaros, you'd probably do the weight saving right and lose the adjusting motors too, then your only problem is any warnings about seat airbags being missing.

Have to ask though, if you needed the Xtra Large recaros previously, then isn't there an easier way to lose 60lbs from the car/driver combination
Mine doesnt have seat airbags so that helps.

I have seen some non recaros that are adjustable and look very similar. Im tempted to give them a go. If it doesnt work out I will put them in my Supra Twin Turbo
