Default Thinking about getting rid of my Recaros

I'm just too big for my Recaros. At 6'4'' and 220lbs I'm too tall and too wide for the seats. On a long ride the seats are so uncomfortable that I just can't take it anymore. I'm thinking standard Ralliart seats will serve me much better. With that said I have a few questions:

Will regular Ralliart seats connect right up?

Do regular Ralliart seats have the same fabric pattern as my Recaros?

If you could find another Ralliart owner that wants Recaros, you could essentially do a seat swap, brackets and all. The fabric is different, but cloth is cloth, neither seats has cheap materials.

The only difficulty I foresee happening is having an SRS light after the seat swap on the passenger side. There's a sensor that's calibrated and VIN-matched. You could swap the seat out and have that sensor recalibrated to your car, or you might be able to swap the module from the two seats. Up to you. Otherwise, it will all bolt up the exact same.
