▀▄ eas - Recaro showroom
As SoCal's largest authorized Recaro dealer, we see a lot of seats come and go through our doors. We wanted to take this opportunity to show you some different combination's installed in various BMW's.
Recaros are a good way to shed unneeded weight from the vehicle as stock seats are very heavy (65lbs). For reference, a Pole Position with mounting hardware is just under 25lbs. Recaro also manufactures wheelchairs, as well as aircraft and seats for airlines, automotive children seats, and for the Shinkansen train in Japan. Its seats are used in the VIP lounges and substitute box at European football stadiums. Cars with OEM-installed Recaro seats Below is a list of OEM-installed Recaro seats, available at the present and formerly: - Alfa Romeo: Alfa Romeo Milano (Verde edition), 33/155 16V 4x4,75 (limited edition 2.0 T.Spark), 156, 164 (also Q4) - Aston Martin: DB9, Vantage, Vanquish - Audi: Sport Quattro, S3, A4, S4, RS2, RS4, A6, S6, RS6, TT, R8 -BMW: Mini John Cooper Works - BMW: 2002Tii, E21 3-series Sport - Bufori: La Joya Mk3 - Cadillac: 2009 CTS-V - Chevrolet: Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe - Callaway:Callaway C16 - Dodge: Magnum 400 and Magnum Turbo - Ferrari: 599 GTB Fiorano - Fiat: Coupe Limited Edition, Turbo Plus - Ford: Escort RS2000 und Sondermodell „Michael Schumacher Edition“, Focus ST, SVT Euro Pack, Mondeo ST200 and ST220 - Honda: Accord Type-R, Civic Type-R, Integra Type-R, NSX, Odyssey, S2000 - Isuzu: VehiCross - Jaguar: XK8/XKR - Lamborghini: Gallardo - Lancia: Lancia Delta HF Integrale - Mazda: MX-3, MX-5, RX-7 Spirit R Type-A, RX-8 2009 RX-8 - Mercedes-Benz: 190E 2.3-16, 500E, CLK 63 AMG Black Series - Mitsubishi: Lancer Evolution, eK Sport,Mirage Cyborg ZR - Opel: Corsa OPC, Meriva OPC, Kadett-D SR Models, Kadett-E Frisco, Astra-H OPC, Zafira OPC, Vectra OPC, Omega A Evo - Peugeot: 406 Coupé - Pontiac: Trans Am - Porsche: 911, 911 GT2, 911 GT3, Boxster, Carrera GT, Cayman - Proton: Proton Satria GTi - Renault: Clio, Sport - SEAT: Leon Cupra R - Subaru: Impreza STi S204 - Suzuki: Ignis Sport - Toyota: Caldina, Supra JZA70 - Vauxhall: Vauxhall Vectra Super Touring & GSi - Volkswagen: Polo 6N Colour Concept, New Beetle RSi, Mexican Caribe GT, Golf Mk5 GTI, Golf Mk5 R32, Golf Mk4 GTI, Jetta GLI, Gol GT, GTS and GTi (Mk1), Volkswagen Sedán Europa Edition 1 (only front headrests). |

Isn't there a wider version of the pole position? I am a 32" waist and its snuggly in the seat. I remember when I bought them some guys that were 34" waist really couldn't fit comfortably

The Profi SPG XL is better suited for larger drivers, but only come in a velour option, we are finalizing options for custom covers/stitching separate from the S08 option that Recaro offers.

Does this set lower the seat (hip) position vs standard seats?
I currently have a set of Sparco and Recaro seats and have always wanted to get them installed. Do you just sell the floor mounts as well? (for sparco & recaro) |
