If you want stock replacements, the dealer, with attendant markup. If you're
looking for an upgrade, I think the best are clearly Recaro seats. Note that
FloFit or one of the other Recaro knockoff seats are actually made by Recaro
- in the USA - and simply use lower density foams - same frame and mounts.
IMHO the older Recaros made in WEST Germany (when there was such a thing)
are better made, but the fabric doesn't hold up to UV as well (Nomex?). Don't
know about the leather - US leather might actually be better.
US upholstery manufacturers (and rubber too) add UV stabilizers the Europeans
don't have to. At least this was the case up to the mid-80s. It's more of a
world market now...
