opinion wanted on Recaros seats - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

kinpin · 04-08-2014, 04:15 PM

I ordered a yellow 2SS 1LE with nav and the performance exhaust..... I liked the way the Racarro seats looked but when i got in one it felt to tight on my back . I lift allot and i where a 3x shirt my wast is a 38 and i go 240lb so the seats where not for me . My question is . Is there any big guys out there that have them ? and if they do . What do you think about them after riding in them on a regular bases ?

I'll buy them from you and give you mine if you don't like them.!

You should order them and trade them for two newish seat and cash, you will start a bidding war...

Maybe one hour less lifting per week and use the time to learn English?

I guess they're not built for all body types, which sucks for bigger people. I see you've already placed the order without though .. else you could have started a bidding war when you got it! haha

It looks like you are new to this forum. There are a lot of nice people on this site. If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. You will make friends a lot faster that way, and it is healthier for you in the long run.

Get the seats, they are worth every penny.

Actually don't, then mine will be worth more later !!

camaro2lt · 04-08-2014, 08:41 PM

Get the seats for sure....if you dont like them you can sell them for big bucks

K_B_InfernoSS · 04-08-2014, 08:58 PM

Get the seats and don't look back. You will learn to love them. I'm thinking of buying a 2014 just to get them!

Blownhotrodder · 04-08-2014, 09:21 PM

I dont care for them and thought 2 grand was better spent on other goodies. I actually like the stock seats.

Sounds like you wouldn't be comfortable in them at all. If you wear a 3X shirt then I doubt you'll enjoy them at all.
