Why we choose RECARO

Not every supplier makes the cut. RECARO is on the shelf because the seat is where you meet the vehicle, and nobody has spent longer getting that interface right: sixty years of sports seats, and a coachbuilding story that goes back to 1906.

1

The seat is the interface

Long-distance comfort seats and motorsport shells built around posture and support, not padding thickness. Your back tells you the difference before the badge does.

2

A motorsport bloodline

The 1965 Sportsitz created the category, and the safety firsts followed: adjustable shoulder support and headrests in 1968. The shells we stock inherit that lineage.

3

A system, not just a seat

503 lines because the seat is half the job: vehicle baseframes, locking rails, airbag resistor kits and belt holders that make the install right, not roughly right.

Before you order

RECARO questions, answered

Will a RECARO seat work with my belts and airbags?

That's exactly what the mounting system is for: baseframes, belt anchors and airbag resistor kits are specced per vehicle. We confirm the full package against your reg before anything ships.

Which baseframe do I need for my vehicle?

Baseframes are vehicle-specific, and rails, spacers and airbag kits vary with trim and year. Send us your reg and the seat you're after and we'll spec the complete mounting kit.

Can you fit RECARO seats for me?

Yes. Seat installs, including airbag resistor wiring and belt holder work, can be done in our workshop, or we'll ship the seat and kit with fitting notes if you'd rather do it yourself.

What are lead times on order-in items?

Popular seats and rails move quickly; specific trims and motorsport shells can be order-in. We'll give you a real date before you commit, not after.
