I'd give one of my nuts for a pair of the E30 Recaros posted in that brochure by Kronus. I can't remember where but I saw a pair in the exact color and cloth of my interior.

You're a real funny guy, you know that? Haha, and no way in hell do 535is wings look better. Ribs are +1 but overlap to the quarters are -2.

i have a e21 with factory recaros and to me they are not comfy at all. The seat back has no give and feels like your sitting on steel, and the center bucket of the seat sags like crazy, (needs new straps) For a little bit i wanted to swap e30 sport seats in, but then i realized i would be a moron or hack up a near mint e21.Comment

Are you obese or something? It seems that larger folks are the ones who generally don't find them comfortable.Originally posted by brandon11130 View PostComment

E21 Recaros are different then the E30 Euro real Recaros. I believe that the Euro E30's used the LS like that of the Afla Verde's.

Inserts are different, position of the fold-forward thingy is is different. No bar to pull the bolster forward.
I'm not sure if those differences are enough to make them different seats to the LS model. I'll be pulling mine out sometime this week to do an audio install, I'll look for any markings.Comment
