for anyone tall, these seats are a MUST! they go back 4 more inches, and are 3 inches lower than standard vw seats.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE SALE!

stock seats are unacceptable in a VW.. ive never had Rado seats, but i know i LOVE my recaros, and so do most of the people that ride in my car.

Ben, i really wish i could take out a loan and come buy your seats, cause i bent one of mine in a wreck. and its going to be hard to find someone selling 1 recaro..

Post by: RadoTD on January 11, 2011, 10:34:12 am: I've had both the Recaros that are for sale in this thread and leather Corrado seats and honestly prefer the Recaros. The Corrado seats are a bit nicer for longer drives and I sink into them quite nicely, but they don't hug you the same as Recaros do. If I had the money to get a set of Recaro seats and rewrap them in black leather to match the rest of my interior, I'd do that in a heartbeat.

Good luck selling these, looks like a good price to me! :)

Post by: spencebm on January 11, 2011, 11:41:54 am: I agree, I like the Corrado seats because they sit lower but the recaros are more comfy in my opinion. They are like sitting in a big teddy bear! Thanks everyone and come get these. R.O.R I would hook you up if you were closer, sorry to hear about your bent seat.

Post by: R.O.R-2.0 on January 12, 2011, 12:58:38 pm: RADO SEATS ARE LOWER THAN RECAROS?!

do they go back any farther? i know you get about +3" head room, and around +4" leg room with recaros in a rabbit, compared to stock seats..
Title: Re: Recaro Seats
Post by: spencebm on January 12, 2011, 02:27:26 pm: I don't know about leg room but definitely lower than recaros. I personally like them better because of that but they are stiff in my opinion.
Title: Re: Recaro Seats
Post by: R.O.R-2.0 on January 12, 2011, 04:22:13 pm: recaros are still firm, but very comfy too.

Title: Re: Recaro Seats
Post by: fdnyguy on January 13, 2011, 05:13:37 pm: Good luck with the sale. I found a set of Recaro's for $400 outside Boston off the vortex. Guy recovered them in marine grade vinyl and did a top notch job. However, maroon and white do not really match well with a gray (and dirt) interior. So I will look into recovering them, and adding heater elements.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

Want vs. need ... and afford. Great price and I definately want, but not bad enough. Don't worry someone will give them a home soon.

Post by: mtnbob on January 14, 2011, 04:20:15 am: Will the back seat fit in a Golf or only a Jetta?
Title: Re: Recaro Seats
Post by: R.O.R-2.0 on January 14, 2011, 10:28:46 am: only a jetta, it might fit in a golf too, but not direct bolt in.. mk2 golfs usually had 60/40 split bench seats..

i dont think i could hack up a recaro seat to make it work in a golf..
