    If you could get me some pics of your seat (where the straps go) it could go a long way. I have a feeling that its the same as the older model c's.

      well the thread title said e30 recaro owners. i needed that piece but ill go through a dealer for recaros i suppose

          e21 recaro bottoms.


          from where the webbing actually attaches to the clips is ~13''. from where the clips attach to the seats is ~13 3/4''

          I can clarify. If you have stock E30 sport seats, that came in IS/ES models. These supports will NOT work for you. these are what e30 sport seats look like, these seats ARE NOT made by recaro.

            I'll try to get a pick of the ones in my attic tomorrow. If it does work you'll have a set sold

            edit: the banded ones above are just like mine, and the bands are worn out

              Ok thats exactly what i was thinking. Its the same set up they used on the older model c's which i happen to have here. Ill check the measurements on the model c's against the ones you just listed and if they are the same as what you have then we should be good to go.

                  well we are going to need to adjust our pattern as the mounting points are different on trophies/ls's as sort of seen here.

                        well if its the same as what is pictured above on that black bmw seat we will have them for you guys very soon. Rather then having two vertical strips of webbing we will have 3 horizontal strips with the canvas between.

                        Once that is completed we will donate one to somebody on here to test fit and try out.

                            This is what the underside of a e30/e28 sport seat looks like.

                                I have a set of real E30 Recaros downstairs you could come and take a look at if you want.
