Alright guys, taxes just hit and it looks like I can finally get new seats! I have narrowed it down to either the full leather Evo SSL seats or the black stitched Evo IX seats w/the leather (err...probably vinyl) bolsters and suede centers. Opinions?!

I love leather but wouldn't mind trying out the suede inserts. They look awesome and would prevent me from sliding around but do you guys think the black suede would fade significantly over time? My windows are tinted but I do most of my driving windows down.

Here's the pics for ideas:

I like the EVO9 seats. I've been looking for some myself, but think I may just reupholster the stock ones. I'd love the weight savings the EVO seats provide tho...

WOW! that is a hard choice! I like them both but I'm leaning toward leather.

BTW you should swap the pic around so it matches the poll.

Suede. Leather seats suck, too slippery.

It is a tough choice! I found them both for about the same price, too, which makes it that much more difficult to decide. How well does suede usually hold up? Anybody know? Ah and thanks for the pointer on swapping the pics.

Thanks again for the responses! Keep em coming!
