I did some reading (and correct me if I'm wrong) you can use the recaro aftermarket seat adaptors to fit these in an e30?Originally posted by Nate325icThink you have to make an adapter for the seat frame, no biggyOriginally posted by ///M42 sportthose look pretty cool. wonder if they need modification to fit.sigpicComment

I sized up the bottom frame to some e30 seats. Looks to me like the holes are in the right spots. Only issue is that the rail closest to the door is lower than the one by the shifter, as the E21 has a ledge there. Here is more info:
Seems to me someone would just need to make something roughly 1" high to run under that rail.A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do- Walter Gagehot

Well, in terms of price, the reverse order is best. If you're handy, redoing them yourself is the cheapest (as they are labor intesive). Having someone else redo them is never cheap due to time alone, not to mention cost of seats and cost of material. Of course, there are some fixed costs to get your first seat done (machine, thread, foam, padding, hog rings/pliers, etc).Originally posted by Nate325ica spacer is all? do you offer new skins for these recaros? trying to see whats the best way to go, buy refurbished, buy good used, or trashed used to recover and recondition myself :DA great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do- Walter Gagehot

i used e21 brackets, BUT i used the handle side brackets only, so you have to hold both handles to move the seat.Originally posted by Nate325icooh looks nice, thanks for the pictures, I think I'm going to get a set. how did you fit them in your car? custom adapter, recaro adapter?...
i have different brackets in the works.
you lose a lot of accesibility to your back seat just to let you know. e21 seats don't slide forward when you pull up the handle to tilt the seat forward. the bolsters are also much larger in comparison to e30 seats, so you can't pull the seat as far forward because it hits the console.Comment
