Default Recaro seats?

Wondering if anyone has installed a Recaro LXF or Orthoped in their C5. Looking for something built a little more for comfort than performance. Any thoughts? Pictures would be wonderful if you have them.

Here is a link to the site:

http://www.motorsportseats.com/recaro/lxf.html

Have no idea if I did this link right.

I had considered Recaros for my Z. I contacted a distributor for Recaro and was told all of their seats were too wide for a C5 unless you wanted to modify the door panel. I was considering one of their premium seats.
