Get a Base Manual 300A seat. It’ll bolt right up just fine and I’m sure you could get one dead cheap. The tracks are modular between the recaro and base seat.
Replacing a Recaro with a power seat would require a new driver seat module/harness and likely need a new BCM or a re-flash at minimum but they’re probably not the same PN so that’s likely not an option. You’re better off getting an entirely new car imho unless you can live without the...
It’s just not aligned properly. I went through this initially with my kit. Use a pole jack for assistance to try to put the subframe in place first. There’s spots in each area to safely jack it up. It’s a tight fit on the tolerance stack ups with the dowels. Do one side at a time and...
It will not mess with the electronics at all going from a power seat or manual seat to a Recaro seat. If this conversation was the inverse where you were replacing a recaro with a power seat you would have issues where you would need a new driver seat module and likely need a new BCM or a...
To @agreywolfe ‘s point they will bolt right in as they share the same tracks as the base manual seats. The only unintended consequences are that the DSM harness will not match correctly so you’ll lose any kind of memory, heat or vent capability from your stock seats.
Thanks for the input, Tony! I’m going to make the jump from GT to Dark Horse. I think I’m going to pass on 700A then especially given the recent price mark ups. It’s my last V8 so I want it to be special.
You're going to love this spec! With all the options combined it makes for a perfect cruiser and occasional track car. For an all-black build it has got the most looks of any of the others I've done.
2024 initial: $61,XXX
2024 year-end: $63,XXX
2025 (PL515): $65,XXX
Roughly $4,000 price difference for my GT Premium

Here's what it is for my 25MY Dark Horse order:
2024 initial: 69,5XX
2024 year-end : 71,5XX
2025 (PL515)...
I bit the bullet and put an order in for a 25MY Dark Horse (600A, Handling Pack, Recaros, Grabber Blue/$1000 difference from 24MY). I'm hearing the same thing in that earliest it will be built could be March/April. Expect about year wait from now. If I get more info I'll happily share.
Last I checked, profiles are still bugged with memory issues. Delete profile and fob association don't create another profile then re-save all your info and should work fine.
To piggyback off of this; is anyone aware of the average Dark Horse Handling Pack order-to-delivery time based on 24MY experiences? I'm sure it's all over but trying to gauge how much time is relevant.
Did not do this with my S550 or S197, but it is routine with my S650 (or a downshift/rev) and seems to be that way with most S650 owners I've come across so far.
