What Recaro seats do people have in their FCs?

Got any pics?

Do they fit easily?

cheers

Probably not many people here have 'em - Recaros are MIGHTY damn pricey. Really nice seats, though.

With any aftermarket seat, the real trick is the bracket to make the seat bolt to the floor of the car. They can be a real bear to fabricate, and pre-made brackets (which are hard to find) are usually pricey for what you get.

Even pics of other peoples FCs with Recaros would be much appreciated

 

OK, to elaborate on the previous question.. my convertible has the original leather seats that are, well, destroyed. What would be the best thing to do here - get them re-covered, scour the earth for good second gen seats, or try to put in aftermarkets...

What have others in this situation done?

 

*bump*

 

id get some carbeus, very cheap, high quality, great looks, i think theyre like 200 per seat and 40 per rail

 

I have always found the originals to be very comfortable - especially on long trips of a thousand or more miles. When mine were shot I went to a local company that installs leather for new car dealers. They recoverd the seats (including the headrest speakers) for $800. I'm not too sure if that was a high price, but they restuffed and rebuilt the bolsters too and I am loving them.

The best thing I have learned is to immediately rip the left rear pocket buttons off all my pants before they scar and tear the seats.

 

I want some recaro style seats for my car. but i dont want to spend 600+ on just one seat.

 

There is a place in Houston Texas called Maz-Max that deals in new, rebuilt and used parts.

I just say a pair of blk leather vert seats that were mint for $500 for the pair. I would buy'em myself right now if I had the cabbage. When I do, I'm checking with them first.

 

My buddy's got a Spoon seat in the FC....

 

 

Ever check out Sparco? They're what all the rally drivers use (US Pro-Rally) so they're strong as hell.

You can get a set of Sparco EVO's for like $500, I believe...maybe less. Of course, I haven't looked at them in a while, price estimates of mine could be WAY off... But I know they're less expensive than Recaro.

 

i have a set of Corbeau's which look just like any other seat of it's class......

but if you're one of them trendy people, then i guess the name brand is all that matters to you.

 

look on ebay they have lot of seat for sales even the recaro look alike and sparco and about $400 for a pair, and the real sparco one are around $500 for one. hope this help
