MkII GTi Recaros in an E30

[Jand3rson]

We may start offering these in addition to the standard brackets (if there's enough interest) very soon.

A group buy on our R3CARO bracket adapters is coming very soon, I promise!

Yay! Brackets! So close to getting good seats in my car finally!

[Jand3rson]

Time for an update! Andrew and I just finished the first set of my R3CARO brackets V 2.0. I decided that the fronts were sitting too low, and the lower part of the seat was too flat. So we made a new set of brackets as a prototype for a new design, to raise the fronts and give the lower part some reverse rake. The fronts now sit about 1.5" higher than the rear, and should make for a much more comfortable driving position.

Backseat is hot! Front seats even hotter. Wish I had bought them when they were for sale.

I should mention here that I have the webbing piece shown above if anyone is in need of it. Got it from Capital Seating a while back, have no use for it now...

Any update on fitting the VW Recaro rear seat in the e30?

[Jbpka06]

remove the two large 17mm bolts on the sides of the seat, one holds the seatbelt and the other has a cap on it. Then remove the 2 pins on the front mounting point on the slider.

Excuse my ignorance, but could someone explain how to disassemble the stock e30 sport seat brackets?
I bought Janderson's brackets and mounted all of his fabrications to the seat. Now all I need to do is take off the stock brackets off the sport seats to mount it onto my E21 Recaros :( :help:

[spooledtt]

Any updates?? I just picked up a minty set of these too!!!

[elguapo84]

I am so happy for you! This is killer!!

Now please get a grey carpet in there...Or Spray your's black (though I believe grey would go best with those seats).

Same with the rear shelf.

Also, dye your headliner black and you will have one of the coolest interiors ever!

^^ok thanks. I know nothing about VW's

[der affe]

The person still had the rear seat also But It was out of a jetta GLI are they the same?

How differnt are the mounts?
Im thinking of snagging the rear also to save $$ on getting mine redone to match the recaros.

that is the Jetta GLI rear seat. the GTI rear is a split bench/fold down seat back

[der affe]

yes, you can unbolt the VW base from there and either buy josh's or make your own adaptor/base from your existing BMW seat base.
