Wow, that post was even on the same page as mine -.- Not sure how I missed it.

There's no additional information as to the model of the seats though. They will clean up to almost perfect.

I would have thought more then that, from the right buyer?

Thanks for your help :)

You should be able to get $300 or so. They're low end Recaros though and not as desirable as the LS or LX models which are more comfortable, have much better bolsters and are a much higher quality seat.

I've got a pair of LX's for sale that need recovering and I'm asking $450. Shameless plug.

That sounds about right. $300usd is ~$380cdn, which is close to what I've listed them for locally.


I'm trying to get my hands on a driver's side LS-C for the E30. I mean ideally I would like a matching set in Houndstooth, but I'm pretty sure that's near impossible!

I may have a DS LS-C soon. I'll let you know if it happens.

Looking for a pair of E21 Recaro hinges.

How much would you guys expect to pay for a decent condition (no rips in fabric) Recaro LS-C?
I realize this is somewhat location dependent.

Got some alpina seats?!?

I dug up a few 6-year-old photos of my OEM E30 Alpina Recaro LS-C

the bolster shape can be clearly seen here



the lifting mechanisms are quite similar to the E30 sport seat design.

I have a few yards of the repro Alpina fabric on the way, so a recover project will soon ensue. Anyone have a good source for LS-shape bolster and center foams?

I have the first gen Recaro LS with the three nylon straps for bottom cushion support and felt like I sunk too low into the seat, and I'm not that heavy-only 185 lbs. The later 2nd and 3rd gen seats use a large square one piece rubber bladder which gives more support.

The cheap and easy fix is to get a piece of 11" X 14" Lexan .093 thick from Home Depot and slide it between the lower cushion and the straps. I rounded off the rear corners so it slid in easily, and if you have the pull-out thigh supports you'll just need to cut two slots in each one for the slides to clear.

May be even better with a slightly more flexible material, so I'm going to experiment, but it's a big improvement over the original strap supports.
