Has anyone installed Recaro Sportsters?

[me73]

I thinking about going with a set of Recaro Sportsters. Has anyone installed a set yet?

I havent seen any in an Emira yet.
I installed some in a previous car I owned and they came stock in the earlier Evora's. They are pretty comfy and you could possibly get the heat integrated.
Mounting could pose a challenge as they are setup to bottom mount and the boltpattern wont match the floor on the Emira, so you would need to create an adapter plate most likely.

Watching with interest... I'd love some Tilletts but pricey

For mounts I found some from a company called "Planted" during my research

I’m also thinking about this, the stock seats hurt my lower back.

I test drove a new Civic Type R yesterday and the seats were amazing. Wish I could just plop those seats in my Emira

The Honda/acura seats are overall the best made car seats of any brand

Please spend the extra, you know deep down it makes sense.
You don't need a heavy base bracket with our Emira TEMIRA1 brackets.

100% - you get what you pay for, just need to save a little while longer. Would feel much safer in your seats/brackets too, given all of your experience!

Sooooo much better than stock seats. More comfortable, amazing feel of what the car is doing, better seating position, big weight savings.

The fact that the recaros can have airbags as an option put them ahead as it is the only legal way to have aftermarket seats in AU.

How is the access to the storage space behind the seats with these installed?

What implications do the Tillet seats have with insurance in general?
The lose of airbags, must make it a declarable item to the insurance company.

I had no issue when I declared them to my own insurance company. I’ve not had anyone to date come back to me and suggest an issue either.

It is limiting for sure, but I'm not trying to carry a suitcase back there or anything.

I love the look of the Tillets, but for me, the restricted access to the back shelf, the lost airbags and the seatbelt issue (if this hasn’t been fixed) stops me from ordering.
