Recaro owners in here, please...

JCKnife · May 2, 2004

I'm on the verge of talking myself into some Recaro sportlines (actually the Tomcats, based on the Sportline design, but with yellow carbon-fiber/kevlar fabric--but it's a sportline for all intents and purposes).

Those who have them--worth it? Would you do it again?

I'd only like to hear from folks who have (or had) them, please.

I love my SRDs...lowered my seated position 3 inches

I paid 400 per seat plus 80 for rails and mounting brackets..you will need both.

Bump for the Day Crew--really looking for more opinions.

They work with stock belts as well? (free bump)

4.6_02_Black_GT · May 3, 2004

Yeap Driver side is no problem you can keep stock belts there. Passenger side is giving me a fit though.

What are you connecting the harness to since theres cage? Looks awesome BTW

4.6_02_Black_GT · May 3, 2004

look close at the picture, behind the front seats see the harnesses going to the rear lap belt anchor points. Yes rear seat is useless now, I plan on doing a rear seat delete kit soon.

Those seats comfy? Looks like Velcro
Where did you get them? Do they have them in leather or vynl?

madmatt · May 3, 2004

Seats look great, but i wanna know where you found recaros for 400 a piece. Thanks.

Gotem from Darren Reiss at Speedware Motorsports

SRDs were recently discountinued and replaced by the Sports(same seat), I got his last black set with white letters.

I want some too

JCKnife · May 3, 2004

I found a place with lower prices than speedware: http://www.azautosportdirect.com/

They have Recaros and lots of other stuff. I've been talking to Victor there and I think I'm going to order these tomorrow. They're only going to make 75 pair and he says they're going fast. (Yes, it might be a line but he is correct about it being a limted run of 75 pair).

Also the Recaro SRD's are now called the "speed" line, not the "sport" line.

is that 3" lower than the lowest stock power position? if so thats pretty low huh? I'm 5'11" and i like to be seated pretty high i guess.

4.6_02_Black_GT · May 3, 2004

Yeap, its the lowest, I'm 6 feet even, and in stock seats I had good head room, but I just felt like my driving position was just too high. So the Recaros fixed that, I also love to have the side bolsters to keep from leaning one side to another.

Mounting brackets I used mount flush to the floorboard. the sliders are only 1/2 inch thick, so there is no way to sit any lower.

Also the shoulder bolsters are really nice, they support me well, although the seats are obiviously firm, not a of room for padding, They are built well and hold me very firmly in place.(one should be 30-38 inch waist, any wider and you might find the seats squeeze you a little too much around the kidney area, also if you have usually large thighs you may find the thigh bolsters squeeze a little too much too.) I actually sat in a set of Corbeau CR-1s and the fit is very similair.

JCKnife · May 3, 2004

That's why the SRD (or "speed") won't fit me--I'm about a 42" waist and 6'7" tall.

I sure hope these will sit lower--with helmet on I rub the roof.
