Recaro: The Recaro Garage - All things Recaro

Very Impressive, maybe you should send Kevin the pattern so he can make retro fit kits.

We need some of those here in the states, I have a 6 seats and three of them need to be refinished. The foam is also important we need a good source for these for bolsters. Keep this thread alive.

I have been looking everywhere for a set of nice e30 recaro seats. You have a decent set?

[BeirBrennerE30]

DanThe... great rebuild. Very jealous! i love those seats

[M-technik-3]

They are not show quality but couple are decent. Sold my favorite ones and honestly shouldn't have.

Those aren't the same ones I have in my car. Those are the powered Recaros from a Corrado. The seat backs are made by Recaro, the lower parts are made by VW. The mounting brackets on those seats are part of the lower seat frame, and not removable, and cannot be installed in any car but a VW.

Sorry for the late quote, just wanted to provide the right VW for those looking for a similar seat.

They are not Corrado seats. Those are found in Golf/Jetta MK2 '90-'92 as part of the GTI/GLI. Power was an option, only the front/back was power, not the tilt. The nice thing about those seats is even if you get them out of a Jetta, they will still have the flip forward feature required for 2 door cars.

These are the '93+ Canadian/Euro Recaros found in Corrados (shown here in a MK2:)



also available in leather.

These are the common Corrado seats you'll find in the states (also in cloth):

Guys I need your help. I need to know if all bottom mount Recaro's have the same seat bolt pattern. 2 bolts in front about an inch from each other and 1 bolt on the back for a total of 6 bolts. From what I've gathered so far they are all like this.

I have a line on those 2 seats but they're not match. What kind of model of seats re those?

All things Recaro?

How about one of the newest OEM Recaro seats?

These bad boys, if they fit would be amazing in an E30. I know, they probably wouldn't very easily.











That's right the new 1 Series "Performance" seats seen in the tii concept.

Now, I must say you'd have to be a baller, and stupid to justify the near $5000.00 price tag. That's no typo. They are sexy though. Turner can order them for you:

Atan888 has these in his 1 of 6 Dinan Turbo e30m3.

I have that webbing piece shown below the brackets, brand new from Capital Seating if anyone wants it. They don't fit the E30 uber Recaros. Lemme know ya'll

Too bad Onder is such ass. He was going to make the same seat for me but with e30 recaros

It was a damn shame because he actually does excellent work. I was ready to send him more work to finish up my projects but that kinda got sidetracked. FWIW, if you can find someone more local and up to par with Onder's work I'd rather go that route. Its much easier for communicating and trying to convey your ideas and wants. HTH

Side note-I will be working with someone local to me with my door panels and maybe even the consoles and dash. I'll let you know how that turns out.

Picked these up last weekend for $1000.
They are 1984 Recaro C Classic, if I'm not mistaken, and PO said that he used them as backseats in his Nissan Prarie from '84 to '88, then he put them away in storage. Was going to put them in his 02 tii, but decided to keep it stock.
Everything works, and they are in awesome condition. Looks better in real life.

These came today. They are LS's but I've never seen these headrests before and the bottom bolster is adjustable but has no lever. You just pull it up and out. Weird. Anybody know when they stopped making these?

Edit: Spoke to Recaro today, apparently the LS was available until 1995 and it seems these were perhaps late model ones.
