Contemplating on swapping Sparco with Recaro

[m3f_m3_858]

Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while, hope all is well :-)

With the new job and a new passion for rock crawling, the M has been a garage queen for quite a long time. :-) self


Would like some opinions. I got a practically brand new set of Sparco Fighters that I'm considering swapping out for a set of Recaros. I've maybe sat 1k miles on these seats and they've been in my car for about 2 years. I have 2 other vehicles and barely drive the M as it's mostly used as a track car.


In a few months I'll be down to 2 cars and would like to drive the M more around town. Having seats that do not recline and have next to no padding make long drives a pain. I'm also stuck in a wheelchair and even though it's those newer lighter racing chairs, damn thing is a pita to put in the car with a rollbar and fixed seats.


My brackets are custom made for both Sparco and Recaro. What would be the safest reclining Recaro or even another Sparco I can get for both street and track? My harness bar and vertical bar are removable from the 4 point rollbar hoop just as fyi.


Current setup:

Well, look who decided to stop in. :-)


I don't have any input to provide. But good to see you and the car are doing well.

Looks like you're not running a sub strap, so I'm guessing 4 or 6-point? If you don't use a sub, your options are wide open. Personally I love Sparcos and if you like the Fighters, I'd stick with the brand. Great seats. The 505 is in a similar price range but lacks adjustable lumbar if that's important. My personal ambition is a pair of leather 700s, but I'll need a nice bonus for those.
