    Recaro Sportster CS

    I had a thread on this last year, but considering these again. I know Texas91Brent has these, but anyone else? Any reviews on comfort and installed pics? Thanks

    I've been looking at these seats too and was also wondering if it will fit in the NSX. Has anyone ever installed these successfully?

    Texas91Brent mentioned they are a bit tall. That's my only concern... Veleeno mentioned in another thread he knows of another NSX owner with these seats. Hopefully he has pics he can share.

    Thank you very much Veleno for posting pics. I LOVE these seats, but they are wayyyy too high IMHO. I wonder what can be done/modified so they dont sit so high.

    Yeah, it looks like they definitely will not fit in targas. I think there's slightly less headroom in targas.

    Question Re: Recaro Sportster CS

    Are these actually touching the headliner?

    Re: Recaro Sportster CS

    Yeah that looks way too tall. It seems like it is hitting and probably limits how far back you can recline.

    I will say that I love the "no huge logos plastered all over them" look that they have going compared to all the other aftermarket seats.

    They are not too tall if reclined a little. Very comfortable and look great...A little too expensive, but I quit counting a long time ago......
