Recaro's for the 370?
 
Has anyone seen or heard where you can order Recaro's for the 370?

No reason why you couldn't mount them. A little fabrication may be necessary. I used Bride Brackets to mount my Sparcos. Bottom mount Recaros would be similar..

Yes. OP, check out AE Performance's member journal.

Nice. I want some red recaro's with carbon fiber backing would be nice!

Amplified Motorsport has a set of Recaro's in their Z.

Recaro makes a high quality seat. Be sure that the bolt pattern on the bracket is designed for the seat you want. I believe the bolt pattern can be located on the size chart on most seat manufacterers web sites, I know Sparco does. You also want to make sure it'll work with that manufacturers sliders which are usually sold separate. Here is a company that supplies brackers also:

Wedge Engineering

Wedge does not make a bracket. I was in touch with them months ago about getting this done, but no one stepped up with a donor car for a few days to do the patterning. In fact I even ordered a 350 bracket from them thinking it could be modified (it could not easily). As far as I know, Bride is the only one out with dedicated brackets at this time (figure $400/pr). If you follow my link above you can see how I adapted the Sparco bolt pattern to the bride brackets..

dang... starting to have an ich for nice seats... problem with me though is that my seating height is low and those bride rails drop the seats like 20mm, no? i suppose i can fabricate brakets to make them taller... (?)

Not really......The way I had to mount them to the brackets lost me about 20mm of headroom (but admittedly the foam is firmer on the Sparco's). You can always space these up using Shims between the seat base and the crossrails if you need more...

I put out a call months ago for a volunteer....No one stepped up. They'll need the car for a few days, but you can probably score some brackets out of the deal..

wishihadnav 12-16-2009 05:26 PM

^^real cool guys over there...only problem is the Z is my only car for the time being..honestly it'd probably only take them a day or two to get it done...Bus?..lol.
