are these RS America seats?
I am looking for a par of Recaro SPGs to replace my SRDs, but these look way too much like the stock seats that were in my carrera. I thought RS America came in with different seats?

I think they look the part. KTL would know for sure he has them in his car, and they are soooo sweet.

They look like RSA seats. RSA seats are pretty much sport seats with cloth tops.
If you're looking for SPG to replace your SRDs, why are you looking at RSA seats?

Oh wait I know whats going on here. Those are RS America seats, you are confusing them with RS seats, a Euro only car. I will get a pic to show you.

You are thinking like this...
![]() Cause those are RS seats, not RS America seats. They are two totally different cars. The Euro RS cars are much more hardcore. The RS America is a good car, but a weak attempt at an RS.

Glad to get you on track, they are great seats. IIRC they are almost identical to (actually they could very well be) leather Pole Positions that you can buy new.
