You getting a real good deal for $900 tbh

Cloth evo recaros are around $1400 and MR Leather / aftermarket leather ones go over $2000. And these are only for the front seats too.

EDIT: excellent condition stock recaros go for that price, obviously sh*tty condition ones with drinks spilled all over and sh*t go for like $750. just wanted to throw that out there before I get flamed for those prices

And again, it all depends on what you want for your car, because with $2000 you can get some decent bucket seats. To each their own I guess

I'll just say that I got my full leather Recaro seats (front & rear) from eBay out of a 2012 with 17,000 miles. It was a complete set from one car with no blown airbags. I paid just a hair over $2000 including shipping. I'd say they're easily 8/10 condition. Rear seats have faint creasing on the bottoms from where the owner obviously was repeatedly setting something back there, a tiny scuff on the back of the passenger seat (down low, hard to see), and wrinkled driver bolsters (he must have been a bit heavier/wider than me. It did take 5 months of searching, though.

Expensive? Yes, but totally worth it. Also, OEM = mostly plug and play.

its like 500-600 brand new. Only you need resistor for the airbag light and the slider seat base.
And you set.

Just picked them up last night! They're in great shape. Can't wait to put them in. My Evo is finally complete!

Did you sell them to me? I drove all the way to SoCal

Grats man!

I just sent a guy a down payment on a pair that I'm picking up next weekend as well! I'm not sure how far SoCal is from where you live, but I'm assuming I have you beat.. I'm driving from New York to Illinois to get mine (10.5 hours each way) lol.

The drive is going to suck, but I'm very excited to get them!

Thanks!

Wow. It was about 6.5 hrs each way for me. I don't mind long trips but there and back in one day was rough! Definitely worth it though.

Are they cloth?

6.5 hours is still no joke.. I actually talked my wife into going with me, and we're going to spend the night out there to split up the trip which will help.

Yea, the pair I'm getting are cloth to somewhat match the rear seats in my FE. They only have a few thousand miles on them, and in very good shape, so hopefully they will look brand new when I put them in the car once the weather gets better (no room in the garage unfortunately).

Mine have like 39K miles on them and they still look great except for some minor wrinkles on the driver leg bolster. These things hold up really well.

I was afraid there might be some sun fading or other wear but they're almost perfect.

Awesome man, glad to hear it!

I've been trying to track down a pair of these since I bought my car in November, but have been coming up mostly empty. I'm very glad to be done with this finally, and can't wait to pick them up and actually have them in my possession!

This looks nice. For the passenger side, how do people deal with the weight sensor?
