They are not TRD, they are Recaro knowck offs with TRD sewn on... there are also NISMO, MUGEN, and RALLIART seats on EBAY too with similarities

I am actually 6'6" and I find it really hard to use the heel/toe shifting in the car when downshifting as my knee knocks the steering wheel. I have tried kind of reversing the way the technique works and using the ball of my foot on the clutch and the heel on the brake but thats really tough to get used to and kind of uncomfortable too.

Has anyone ever heard of taking the back seat out and mounting the front seat back a bit farther to remedy something like this?

Ok sweet. Thanks for the advise. Do you have any of the same problems with heel/toeing when driving your car? I was thinking a different steering wheel may help too.

might as well get your seats wrapped the way you like and not have to worry about being uncomfortable. that is what my friend did.

Seriously, you heel/toe with the brake and clutch? I am curious why you would need to use this technique. I use the heel/toe technique; however, it is with the gas and brake.

lol yes I meant gas and brake. I think it was pretty early in the morning when I wrote that, so I wasnt really thinking about what I was doing. I heal the brake and toe the gas because my knees knock the steering wheel otherwise. But I dont really get that smooth of a downshift like this as its hard to get used to.

Your fucking right man those seats are the shit. I want a pair in the near future but am saving up for other more important stuff at the moment. But yeah if you can fit in the torinos from sparco I strongly recomend you get them.
