I'm going to give them a few more weeks and see if I can get more comfortable with them. I've only had the car about 2 weeks. I'm only 6 feet and 185lbs, so it's not that they fit too snug or anything like that......

I drive my car to work everyday, 70 miles a day. I love my recaros! I say give them more time. If that doesn't work, i promise you someone will be happy to take them off your hands

If you want a cheaper alternative and need wider seats, consider the Corbeau CR1's in the "wide" configuration. They're less than $1200 (with brackets). You loose your side air bag and electric adjustments, but I think that's acceptable (especially since my base car doesn't have electric seats).

I passed on the Recaro seats in the Roush. It was an option, but I went with the Premium interior package instead.

Perhaps they break in after a while and get more comfortable. But they are cool looking.

Well, I'm someone a little taller but lighter than you and my thin frame finds them snug too. Don't like the way they put pressure on my lats and thighs. I could see it bugging me on longer drives.

I bought '04 Cobra seats from FRPP and put them in my '04 V6 and drove for 125k miles and thought they were a little too tight on my hips for long drives (I'm 5'10" 165 lbs. / 33" waist).

I was close to sealing a deal on a yellow Boss. I couldn't find a comfy position in the Recaro seats. This was why I ordered a Track Pack with the 401a premium seats.

They are snug and hold me in place but I do not feel like I am being squeezed in a bear hug in them. They do there job just like I expected them to

Can't wait to get a harness bar in and a 5-pt setup (although I wish the seat had a slot to support 5-pt...)

Seeing that you have/had an '03 Cobra, how would you compare the new Recaro's to the '03-04 Cobra seats ??

Funny that you mentioned that....I feel the same way about my 03 Cobra's seats as I do the Recaros ! I've never felt completely at ease in my Cobra's seats, but I don't drive it frequently enough to let it bother me I guess. The '14 I bought is to be a semi-daily driver.
