what is the difference comfort wise between the older dc2 and the new dc5 recaro seats???


do they both use the same rail configuaration?????

 

pretty sure the rails are different....other than that the seats are pretty much the same....the recaro logo is bigger on the dc5r seats....

 

the way the rails bolt to the bottom of the seats are the same, its the pattern in which it bolts to the floor which differs

and theres not really any difference in comfort or way the seats feel, iv sat in both, owned dc2 recaro's, and they pretty much feel the same


make your decision based on which you think looks better

 

DC2R Recaros are SR3 based, whereas DC5R Recaros are SR4s. The main differences are the size of the logo, the shape of the harness hole area and the DC5 seats are a little wider/larger. I like the SR4s in my DC5R . Also the DC5R seats are available in blue and the DC2R ones are not.

Also as above the bolt pattern on the bottom of the seats is the same, but a DC5 rail won't fit a DC2 obviously.

 

The seats feel A LOT different to me... the DC5R recaros seem much more forgiving and loose (they are a larger seat) imo they are more DD'able then my DB8R recaros were.

 

The Type S seats are also Recaros.

 

Loved my DC2 Recaro's in my 99 SI. Very comfortable

 

I miss my DC2 recaros best investment I ever did!

 

honestly i am not too ompressed with the recaro's made for our cars....my buddy has an Evo X with recaro's and those are way better!!

 

would it work with proper rails for our cars?

 

the seats would, you would just have to get honda recaro rails

 

no they are not. so does anyone know from experience if dc2 recaros would bolt up at all in a dc5 or are custom rails required?

 

im using a recaro SR3 (dc2-r recaro) in my car. you can use a bottom mount bracket/slider specifically made for a DC5 and it should work.


i've personally used both seats in my car.

i LOVE the dc5 recaro....what i did not like was the material on the side bolsters (alcantara?)

just seemed like it would take alot of wear and tear from daily driving and getting in and out of the seat. i recently sold my dc5 recaro and matched up my SR3 drivers seat with a speed passenger seat. they are almost identical...besides the fact that the speed seat sits a tad higher.


its a hard choice...but i pick the sr3 (dc2)

 

custom rails are required cause i have dc5 seats in mine and they needed a custom rail...so it would be the same reversed....

 

Uhhhh yes they are. Next time do some research before you open your stupid mouth.

...isn't that Recaro LIKE leather seats, custome made by someone???

there was discussion about ep3 stock seats being made by recaro or something, but I called up my buddy at honda and was told that they(ep3/dc5) are not made by Recaro... please correct me if I'm wrong...

 

No those are stock DC5-S Recaro seats reupholstered in cheesy red. And there is no way your buddy can know the orgin of seats just by working at Honda. I worked at a Honda dealer for 5 years. Nobody tells us who the parts are made by. I dont know about about ep3 seats but I know for a fact that Type S seats are recaros. I only gave 1 example. more searching on the subject will yield more results.

 

yeah, I wasn't sure about dc5, so my bad, but as for the ep3 seats, I ended up callin my buddy at RightHonda dealer in Scottsdale AZ finance director and he made some calls and told me that various parts that went into its assemblying of seats were from three/four different countries and they were not sourced from Recaro company.

I'm just curious about this, so don't take it the wrong way bro... and I really couldn't find any discussion about oem type-s being made by Recaro, so I emailed Recaro to see if they could help me clear this up. I'll keep it posted once I hear back from them..., that's if I hear back from them, LOL...

 

No prob. Im not really an *******, I just play one on TV....

 

x2

 

Dc2 seats do sound very comfortable.
And not only that. The logo is cute.

 

You better be a broad.

 

wow you are ****ing retarded, how does that link prove anything? its a person selling seats claimed they are made by recaro. there is speculation that they were designed by recaro(emphasis on speculation) but that doesnt mean they were made by the company.

 

thanks for the info, there's dc2-r seats for sale all the time in houston and ive been thinking about getting a set for my rsx.

 

To add and to clarify, you can put in DC2 Recaros into a DC5/EP3 by using OEM DC5R Recaro rails. I had DC5 Recaros in my old 92 Civic hatch using DC2R rails (straight bolt-on).
