Custom ordering Recaro Sportster CS: which fabric has the most grip?

curveball99 · 11-09-2010, 08:08 AM

Which Recaro seat material do you think offers the best grip for holding the driver in place? Suede, alcantara, cloth, some combination, etc? Recaro dealers sometimes promote the CS in "Artista", a geometric cloth pattern. I've discovered that after sitting in a few of the Sportster CS's that had the side and leg bolsters covered in vinyl or leather, they were too slippery to hold me firmly in place under hard cornering.

And before anyone chimes in, I also investigated the Profi and Pole Position seats, but I want a seat that will offer easy access to my E92 coupe's backseat.
