    Do what you want. I just think it if you have the money it saves you trouble. Go to the Corbeau website.

      I looked at Corbeau's website yesterday... and I'm double checking it now. Maybe I'm not seeing it?

      I'm assuming from your post that they are compatible.

          Can't you find the e30 stuff on there? Shouldn't be hard to find. You should just call them, that's actually the best method.

            Ummm.... What?

            That's not my question. I've had their brackets before and I can tell off the top of my head that the part numbers are D158T and D159T. I was even sponsored by them a few years back (my first one actually).

            But does a Corbeau bracket work with a Recaro seat? I was under the impression you said they clarified it over their website, which apparently they don't.

              Yeah they work with the proper sliders and what not. Call Corbeau and verify is all I'm saying.

                You're confusing the crap out of me.

                All I want to know is:

                Corbeau bracket + Recaro Seat = bolt on?

                Will the sliders line up? Because the Corbeau brackets already include sliders. I've used them before but I used them on Corbeau seats, not Recaros.

                But if you don't know the exact answer to my question then obviously we'll go to the following step, which is verify with Corbeau, although I do feel like an ass to ask them to use their brackets with seats that are not theirs.

                  I've been told they will work with my Recaro seats, however I don't want you to have some mysterious Recaro's with different a different setup.

                  They don't car if you call them about that. They're just happy that you want to use there stuff.

                      i recently just bought what i believe are a pair of almost mint recaros but they dont have recaro branding on the seats except on the sides and mounting brackets.







                      there is slight wear on the bottom of the driverside seat i wouldnt mind getting the centres recovered. do you guys know anywhere to get recaro fabric?

                              I went with the Speedware E30 seat base and a Sparco universal slider. I'm hoping everything fits well. Just waiting to receive the sliders and then in she goes. I'll take some pics of the fit and finish once I'm done.
