recaro spgs or base seats?

i have a decision to make. i have some stock base seats that i have in the garage and i have some recaro spgs in my car. I've been thinking about switching out the recaros to the base seats. I am having a tough time deciding since i don't want to let the recaros just sit in their boxes. Any suggestions? thanks. i don't daily drive my car, but i do like to take it out on weekends.

all depends on which you think is the most comfortable.

You'd be surprise how comfortable stock seats in 'good condition' really are. I have leather seats and they hurt my back. Their also pretty old and tired so its not as supportive as a newer one.

Sat in a mates S8 FD with pretty much new stock seats and the difference was amazing. My vote for cloth stock seats!
