These seats, as stated are from the Mitsu Evo2 cars that were produced in '94 and '95. But as the owner has shown (image below) these are in fact branded as SR by Recaro and are def not the SRD model. To me his seats, and the seats you posted look the same. If I were a potential buyer and cared about the actual models the only thing I would care about is the model number Recaro stamped on them.
Edit: Dope car by the way.

The difference between the speed and the sr seats is the shoulder bolster. I am reading on the breakdown of the seat models right now. But the way it looks to me is these look like they have the larger shoulder bolsters.
We know the seats are not from a bmw.
I saw a diagram before that I am trying to find that show the shapes with the models all in one picture. I thought I bookmarked it but I didn't I will find it.
You guys don't need to argue about what the seats are please. They are what they are and thats the bottom line of it. Even if they were something else I would not change the price. I think that I have priced them fairly and someone who doesn't have the cash to throw down on the new ones will enjoy these.Comment

100% it is the same size as the srd the picture you showed of the evo 3 copies seats are srd seats .it is obvious sr small rounded all so the head is different .
like you said doesn't matter still nice seats.just they are not the same seats as the evo III m3 SR seats.If they were the be sold.
guys buy the seats you are selling and re do them just like the photo.
best of luck on sale !Comment

I agree the Evo 3 seats definitely look like SRD's but in Germany they are referred to simply as SR's. I don't know if this is because they were sold through BMW or what. Like the JDM seats sold through Honda/Mitsubishi are known as SR3, SR4, etc. Recaro had SRA, SRB, SRC and SRD being the most aggressive. They were the same seat just with different bolsters. That's the seat most are familiar with."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

ow my gosh if you guys can't tell the difference I others wont either its to obvious to me.look at the side bolsters on your car and the copy evo seat obove they are huge they stick way out look at the evoIII seat picture rounder and less aggressive.It doesn't matter like you said you were selling them as SRD and that is what they are style.why they say SR I don't know maybe they changed the bottom part or maybe on the jdm cars they had some kind of change over later on.I just was commenting on the other guy claiming them to be the coveted European EVOIII seats which I can tell you 100% they aren't. in fact why don't you post them on s14net to see what happens if they were the SR they will sell in one day!and yes the speed are the new virsion of the original sr seats.the bolster is the same but head rest is different .It is still closer to the SR than a srd in my opinion.
recaro speed seet bolsters are smaller than the srd closer to the EVO III SR it looks like it has the head of the SRD and the Bolster of the SR

Ok mr expert.... You are putting all of your faith on peoples opinion on the Internet. The seats are sr. The seats you posted just now are of a speed and srd. The speed came put after the evo 3 was out. Just because you ordered the speeds and think they look the same doesn't mean you are right. Please stop flaming my post. If you want to take it to pm to discuss with me I'd be happy to. You are wrong on the seats and that is the bottom line.Comment

Oh wow... look what I started. Sorry about that. But at least I am learning something here. That brochure you posted pretty much explains it all I think.
Like I said before though, the seat is designated by recaro as SR. It's right there on the side. I don't know what there is to argue.E30 Dinan Turbo

Hey man, I got your PM and I am just going to respond to your post and that here.
First, no one is trying to mislead anyone on here. And I don't think that is anyone's intention. Especially not mine since I have nothing to do with this sale.
Second, I am going to say this again just to be clear. These seats are factory Mitsubishi EVO2 seats that were put on those cars during 1994 and 1995. That's got to be at least the third time I have stated this. I know this as a FACT, as I too owned a pair of these and watched the place I bought them from pull them directly out of a chopped RHD EVO2.
Third, it is unfortunate but in your attempt to help any buyers out I believe you are spreading more misinformation in the process. For example, you are making statements that these are run of the mill honda and integra seats. And that is simply not the case. In addition, some of the photos you posted completely contradict the Recaro spec sheet that the OP posted. And to me that holds a little more value then internet hearsay.
Lastly, I think the most important part of all of this is the fact the these are Recaro model number "SR." Thats it! These seats are Recaro SR from a Mitsubishi EVO2. To me, and me alone, a Recaro SR from an EVO3 M3 and a Recaro SR from a '94 Mitsu EVO2 could very well be the same damn seat. Hell, they are only 2 or 3 years apart. But I could be wrong, and I am sure that is possible. But like I stated on my first or second response to this thread, these are an excellent bet for some purist out there. These are Recaro SR's from the same era as the EVO3. This is about as close as you will get to an EVO3 SR without actually trying to go out and find one.
Edit: Here is a group buy on s14.net for E30 M3 Recaro SR seats back from '08. They do not have narrow bolsters. Only one pic works but you get the idea. This whole discussion should have never happened. A model number is a model number.
