I like the seats in the car now......good enough for everyday driving but the support there when you need it

It doesn't sound like your putting them in a RL so I'll give my opinion.

When they are setup right they are great. I have had lots of problems with alignment of the seats and there is limited adjustments possible. With the form-fitting style (and my bad back) you really notice when there is a seat alignment problem. A plus over the non-RL seats is the 6 way adjustments, alowing you to raise and lower the seat.

He doesn't have a Red Line. So he'd be going from the ION QC stock crappy seats to seats that are a thousand times better.

You can raise and lower the seat in the Redline too... it goes front/back/up/down and leans forward and back... pretty adjustable to me...

He said "non-RL seats". Do the standard QC seats not go up and down?
