Default Update Nov 2012

I ordererd Recaro baseframes in mid August. Received the driver side baseframe this week. The passenger side is still on backorder. Seems like hard stuff to get...

Installed the Recaro baseframe, which was an easy operation. The Recaro baseframe positions the seat close to stock alignment regarding the centre of the steering wheel (but still a bit more offset than stock). The sitting height is, to my dissapointment, not lower than the stock sport seat in lower position, and approx. 30-40mm higher than with the Macht Schnell hardware.

However, I do really love the Recaro Sportster CS. They give the feeling like I am "dressing my car on" like it should have been a tight jacket. They are the best seats I've ever had.
