Recaro America financial stability been questionable for some time.
Scored set just prior to bankruptcy announcement; took ~5 months to fulfill order
Unfortunately, to-date never was able to register seats on-line for warranty coverage. That said, seat performance and quality are spot-on.
>>FYI...Seat Config - Recaro rails, Macht Schnell lite weight floor mounts for racing seats
GL cobbling everything together...benefits & outcome worth the efforts.
