Ordered My Recaro's-when will I learn?

[efhughes3]

I ordered a set of new Speeds for the second time this past weekend. The first order was placed the previous weekend. After much searching on the net, I found what looked like a legitimate place in AZ that was about $60 cheaper for the set. Well, once my order was placed, I couldn't get them to call me back for a week, and when I did get them Friday. I was told they were getting around to processing the order with Recaro. I cancelled it.

Well, I placed my new order with Speedware this past Saturday via their website, and got an email from Shaun there saying they are shipping today! These guys seem to have a good reputation on this board, so it goes to show you "stay with what/who you know".

By the way, I got my new Anatomico shift know from Pelican today, and Bob @ Appbiz should be finishing my carpet set this week. Once I get the DasSport rollbar and harnesses ordered, I'll have gotten the interior part done. Next?....

That's cool Ed. Can't wait to see the after.

what are you using for seat brackets? I'm pondering some speeds myself...

Ed--I know I've told you this before. No posting without pics of your beautiful targa.

Jon-thanks for the kind words! I actually need to get her out for a shoot after the interior is done.

nostatic-I'm kind of up in the air on the brackets. I've got non-power seats now. There are a bunch of posts that say the Recaros will work with the stock sliders. I thought I'd save some money and try this rout first.

Ok Ed--I'll cut you a little slack this time. I have Recaro SRD's in my car and the Speed's look like their replacement and yes they work with the stock sliders--mine did anyway. It was only a 30 min job they bolt right up. Hope yours goes as well. One recommendation is to have a small low profile (metric of course) ratchet set to take out your seats since the bolts are a little hard to reach. Some guys have replaced the bolts with hex bolts to even make the swap quicker and easier.

I will concur. I bought my SRD's from Speedware and they bolted right up. Good service from Speedware and very good seats.

looks like about $90 per bracket. If it bolts to the stock one, that is a decent place to save a few bucks. If you get the other brackets though, can the seats then just slide/swap out, or do you still have to remove bolts?

Yep, speedware is the poopy... same with my SPD's, bolted right in...

Hmmm... I thought The Racers Group was cheaper.
I just ordered a Pole Position and they were the cheapest around.
