Bucket seats compared to stock seats...Worthed?

Just wandering what do you think. Is it worth the money to get racing seats rather than the stock ones? Or spend it on something more worthed?
I'm not into racing or anything...well maybe once every blue moon.

It's just that the stock seats are too small for my height. My head's over the seat when I'm sitting, sometimes after some drive, my neck starts to ache.

you have the R1 seats? those are actually comfortable..but since you're tall, they do making racing seats that fit your needs however it will cost a pretty penny..

and IMHO, if you get one racing seat, it will only look good if you get 2 to match..

If you have a Touring and get tired of sliding on the leather when you take a turn faster than usual (if you even do), or obviously if you track it, it would be worth it.

But if you mean a genuine bucket (non-reclinable), be aware your comfort level will probably go down. Especially on longer drives.

Doesn't corksport offer some decent seats. Been so long since I've been on that site.

Most of your direct contact with the car comes through the seats, pedals, and steering wheel. Therefore, these items will probably significantly influence your enjoyment. If you don't like the seats (or the wheel), then by all means get something that you like better!
