Anyone with any pics of Porsche recaro buckets?

Ideally as many colours as possible, triple grey, magenta etc & some close ups of stitching would be fantastic if you have some tucked up in the garage

Also interested in the differences between 964/993 if you can point me in the right direction

And some bloke called Cragswinter asking questions about seats on here previously

P.S Dave at Southbound stated that the double stitching makes the seats look far nicer than the single stitches Recaro supply on the Pole Position.

I knew I'd asked previously but couldn't for the life of me find it! Are yours double stitched from factory slippy? Any close ups would be appreciated

Any more pics of the spg profis as that's what I have?

Bit of a thread revival, but is anyone interested in swapping some Recaro SPGs (mint unused) for some Recaro Pole Positions?

Not that it'll affect you, but the Pole Positions are no longer FIA approved.

Corporate BS from Recaro here :

Yeah I saw that last month, I did get in touch with Capitol Seating and it's a pretty simple fix-register with Recaro and they'll send you the updated bracket

I have an SPG at home (as you do - it was once in my old BMW track car) and always assumed the PP ws quite similar. How different are they?

They're quite different seen side by side, the SPGs have the ribbing (like the Porsche seats) on the shell back for strength, have the higher bits around your kidneys and most importantly have the shoulder strap holes higher up-if you're above a certain height the pole position strap holes are so low down they risk compressing you into the seat in an accident.

Think of the Pole Position as a bit of a fashion accessory compared to the SPGs function!

PPs I find just as comfortable so I'm ok with them and I'm not planning on using them with harnesses so the shoulder straps don't matter for me

Those "higher bits" pummel my kidneys, (and not in a good way)

As with most things I guess Henry, one size doesn't fit all how do you get on with the harness slots in the Porsche PPs? I know it's not an usury on the newer ones but in your RS are they ok?

Ade, appreciate it if you kept an ear out ideally I'm after leather but as I'll likely recover them I'd look at anything

I'd be willing to swap my cloth PP's for SPG's.

Appreciate the offer, pm me over some details and we can see if we can work something out
