I got a pair of Recaro buckets for my truck from a friend of mine for $300. It was a deal I couldn't pass up since you can't even buy a single seat new for that cheap. The quality is unsurpassed! The seatbacks are infinitely adjustable (they don't just have certain slots to click into). If you lean the seats forward, they have a memory and return to the position you had them set at. They have a front section that pulls out to give your legs more support near your knees, although in a truck it's pretty much useless. You'd get more use out of that feature in a car such as a Vette or Camaro where your legs are more directly in front of you. My favorite part of these seats are the bolsters. You don't sit on these seats, you sit IN them! The side and thigh bolsters wrap around you like a glove and they don't let you move at all through hard cornering. I have a friend who spent nearly $1,000 on a pair of Corbeau seats and those things have as much lateral support as a factory bucket! My Recaros definitely blow them out of the water. The Recaros are firm enough to keep you in place, but comfortable enough for extended stints behind the wheel.
If money is no object or if you are luck enough to find a deal on a set of Recaros like I did, go for it! You'll not be sorry!
