Recaro: The Recaro Garage - All things Recaro

That's a Gen 1 LS-C. You can find the support straps on ebay for $35-$40, but some are crap, so check seller's info before you buy.

Who has experience with the Experts and Specialists? I am strongly considering some Expert S since i cannot find the Classic line in the US, and no dealers locally to sit in any. Just wondering if what people prefer between the Expert and the Spec...

What a better place to be reminded about the Recaro mounting specs. 99% of seats going along these specs. The exception being seats made by Recaro especially for a car maker.

Classic style



Newer style

Some people say that bigger Recaros don't fit into the E30.

Is it true?

Your pictures show that they are 530 and 535 mm wide.

Never heard of a Recaro seat being too wide for an e30. ;-)

These Recaros CSE hardly fit, for example.

What problem?

[TinoGrigio]

So I bought a E30 a while back and the seats it came with are barely functional. I'm 5'5 and can barely reach the pedal and wish I was maybe 1-2in closer. Not sure if its the seats or E30 isn't short people friendly lol. I just recently snagged recaro ls/lx with the smaller side bolsters. Anyone whos my height that has experience with recaros in their E30? In terms of height and forward distance? Thank you!

Hello! Looking to buy these from the UK, and was wondering if they were legitimate, as the price is pretty great. Any help appreciated, thanks!
