I dont think so man.. If they were in black then I would say hell yeah, but I personally do not care for red seats, recaro or not. If you like them, then go check them out in person and try to see if you can get those smudges out.. Because those in that auction look pretty dirty imo.

ahhh. seats for all that money? its pretty tight looking but. really. 700? i thought we were all average joes on this site. if your bank act says yes. but i think i could find a better use for my 7 bills.
i dont have recaros, i have more of a traditional race seat, and i love them. period.

Id say for the money, go with something more like what status has to offer, if you're going to be cornering.

Ive ridden in recaros, and they personally didnt do much more over stock for me. As to be expected with any seat you sit ON, not IN.

even mine, in long drives, are amazingly comfortable, and i wouldnt trade them for anything (and believe me, ive had a few good offers)

Ive always kind of longed for these seats, but I never could justify spending $1000 on seats. I finally found a pair locally - he wants $700 picked up with rails (I know ill have to change them). Do you guys think this a good deal / go for it?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220175266414&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

$700 is the cheapest that I've seen for a while.
that link shows $750?

but anyways i dont think they are worth it unless you have tons of money to spend, i would rather have some clean ass GSR leather front and rear and $250 to spend on something else

they are more then worth it, you wouldn't go wrong with them once you set in them and feel the comfortability.

i have recaros and find them VERY comfortable.... i think that seating is something that is definately worth spending a decent amount of cash on.. after all you are going to sit in it EVERY day.. if you count the brackets AND seatbelts i have over $2,000 just in seating...

not that you havent seen my seats a million times.. lol

their much lighter then your oem ones.
their much comfortable then your oems ones.
you wont be tossted around like in your eom ones.
you'll have a better view, no too high, not too low.
they usally go for 1k.
yea, i think for 700 their worth it.
lol don't listen to this guy he don't know. recaro seats are heavier than oem ones for sure. they do hug better, and are only comfortable depending on the person. i'm small so they fit me good. leaning the seat back is a pain in the ass, and u can't use a center console (ek) or u'll f**k the knobs up. they are def not the most comfortable for long trips, and if ur big they will hug to tight, enough to squeeze the s**t of ur nuts and make u super uncomfortable.

lmao lets see if the recaro hold value like the bride
wtf are you seriously talking about. u posted garbage in this thread. oem son. oem goodness will always and forever hold a value, y u think u dump soooo much money into jdm?????????
cant be it. $1200 rite now on internet , i wait till my spare change add up and my parts saving up there.
as u post a picture of a carbon kevlar full race style bucket seat... that s**t would suck ass for daily. haha u make me laugh kid.

yellow recaro, try 1600 a seat if u can find em... i've only seen em go on sale twice my whole life time, one of them had the full yellow interior including back seats. that s**t was bbbbaaaaallllliiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!



honestly man... recaro is an awsome seat, i mean c'mon honda put em in as stock interior in several models, and since when is honda oem cheap???? i love mine. they hug very nice. feel very nice. give you the great classic look. some cheap replica seats or cheap race style bucket seats feel like they are gonna break but these are solid.

red ones are def cheaper then black ones. those are kinda f**ked up on ebay. i wouldn't buy those, they are cheap but y not just spend the 300 and buy some mint black ones, i mean ur already spending 700 what's 300 more?? if u can afford to drop 700 on seats i think u can offered to spend 1000 on seats. if ur still in the market i have a set of black ones up for sale on another forum...

IMO,I would spend the extra 200 bucks and get some in much better condition. I guess my decision is bias since I am a clean freak. =)
