Recaro: The Recaro Garage - All things Recaro

[achilles8]

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!

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!

What problem?

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

These Recaros CSE hardly fit, for example.

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.

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...

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.

I just bought Recaro LS-C 's that i would like to redone but i just can't find out about the specific genreation of my seats. I beleive they are second generation but if some experts can help me figuring that out, it wiil help a lot. In fact, i am looking to buy new bolster foams , but the one i found on CAPITAL SEATING (N-JOY) are not for the model i have in hand.

Hope anyone here can give me more infos! Tks

Does :Lee offer cabrio-specific adapters? If not, you may still have fitment issues, as his E30 brackets are .75" lower in the rear.

He has 2 types of adapters. His standard (which I’m guessing is the .75” lower) and his tall which is standard + 1 inch.

I’ve worked hard to get these seats and material but have considered getting rid of them and doing air ride. Seems like I can get $2500-3k for seats and $1500-2k for the 1.5-1.75 yards I have if they inner material.

I’ve got the Recaro LXC’s and trying to get them into my Vert. Using planted bases, I believe it puts the seat too low which interferes with how narrow the Vert is. The recline wheel is what seems to be the piece interfering.

Anyone that has put these in a vert provide guidance on how they fit? Thinking I need to go with Massive Lees adapters which should bring them higher.

Hey Guys, just joined this forum because of this Recaro thread. I do not own an E30 but i just picked up a 1989 Nissan Silvia and it had these cool old Recaro seats in it. I was hoping to find more info about the seat and if replacement fabric is available for them. I believe the model is LSB and the fabric says "Renoma Paris" on the back rest. Does anyone have info on these? Thanks in advance.

Do any of you guys with recaro expert or specialist dual purpose the car? or even Speed owners.

Looking for a set myself, trying to stay period correct but i am concerned about shoulder and leg/thigh support on the track. Obviously bucket seats are the way to go, but the pole positions, speeds and expert/specialist will cost me more/less the same locally in Germany.
