    Do E30 Recaro's fit a vert?

    I'm wondering if they fit. I know the stock convertible seats have different lever positions than the coupe seats to fit the wider door sill.

    So, do they fit or do the levers get in the way?

    To clarify: actual E30 LS-C seats, not the stock coupe seats that aren't Recaro's.

    Yes. I have seen many people run aftermarket Recaro's in verts.

        Ok cool.

        Btw you can check by looking at the plastic bits on the side. The euro recaro's have BMW stamped on them.
