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.

Thanks for reply, good to know!

If I had $2400 to spend on putting these seats in an E30, I'd just buy these:

Installed yesterday. This is the final result of researching E30 seat options, deciding, changing my mind, and researching again. I'd like to try some LSs for the more aggressive bolstering at some point too.

I'm offering these up for sale in case anyone's interested...
(Sorry for sideways pic-would fix if I knew how)

When getting seats reupholstered is it possible to save the old fabric, given it is in good condition before coming off?

Expert M Leather

After hanging out with me for more than a quarter century and taking me around for over 320,000 miles, I decided to refresh my small bumper E30 by starting with the interior. I tried the full line at a local Recaro dealer and decided to go with the Expert M with its less aggressive seat bottom. Luckily the same dealer also had a pair of Recaro adaptors on hand!

Which recaros are those?

Expert M Medium Grey Leather. Looks like no longer offered in their website. I ordered mine March of 2016 and they were delivered in July of 2016 because Medium Grey was a standard leather color but not a standard stock item. I took the rear bench to a leather repair shop and they repaired and dyed it.
