Hey I found a guy selling Type R seats for $250. Here's the pics:





Anything I should look for when I go look at them?
Thanks

 

Honda p/n?

 

$250? Definitely fake...
Look for Recaro stamps as well.

 

p/n?

And would these fit in a 96 hatch with out any other pieces needed?

And correct me if I'm wrong, aren't the only Recaro Type R seats in Japan/Canada etc?

 

fakes, they dont have the recaro logo on the seat, and a used set in good condition goes for around 800-1200$ usually without sliders/rails/brackets.

a real set :

 

Part number.

It looks like there aren't any rails or sliders.

Well, you right and wrong. Recaro did make the USDM ITR seats, just not the SRD style. The SRD style was only available in Japan/Canada/etc.

 

Also something else to look for, real Recaro's (Unless reupholstered) are suede on the bolsters/arm area, and tweed on the seat/back area.

 

This guy lives about an hour away from me. I'd hate to waste a trip if they're fake.. It's hard to tell much of anything about the material from the pics, and he says he "doesn't have" the part number.

Also, they don't look like any USDM seats that I've found online so far..

 

I just found this. They're Type-R "style". They look identical to the seats I first posted..

 

i dont see the big deal... if you like the look and arent worried about being 1337.. just get them... 250 for a set of seats isnt bad at all..

 

I thought Type-R were recaros. and they said recaro on them. I think what the guy is selling you is ebay type r style seats.

i dont know why i came up like that...its www dot ******** dot com

 

8th c i v i c . c o m

i still dont know what is going on. lol

 

you still havent seen the edit post button either apparently...

 

Yeah it's not a big deal but, I don't "need" seats; I just wouldn't mind having new seats. If I'm going to spend money on them, I'd like them to not be replicas.

 

Then be prepared to spend more than $250

 

OP, here's how you can tell if they're real:

- The seat belt inserts (in the headrest, where the harness go through) are plastic and coated in a felt materal. They feel amost soft and furry.

- "Recaro" is stampled on the adjustment ****. The **** itself is hard plastic and rubberized on the edges for grip.

- The outer portion of the seat is a suede material, the center portion is a fabric mesh.

- When sit in them, they feel firm and sturdy like OEM seats. On fake seats, the back part of the seat flexes and feels like it could snap. This is due to the cheap reclining mechanism in the fake seats.

As someone who's owned several type of seats (OEM S2000, Buddy Club bucket seats, fake ITR seats, and now real JDM ITR seats) I can personally say that you get what you pay for. The fake seats feel flimsy and the side bolster wear out QUICK. Would drive around and the seats would bounce front to back due to the cheap reclining system. Just sitting in them, I could feel the seat back flex like it wanted to give.

Stay away from the fake seats....

 

dude those are fake as shix lol. I looked at them for literally one second and knew they were fake.

 

FAKE but 250 is cheap

 

if u have to ask if those are fake wow !!!!!!!!!

 

beyond fake, they are crap. had a set

 

Those seats scream out fake from a mile away

 

don't fake the funk

 

yeah except that in the event of a collision youre ****ed.

people these days seem to forget that seats serve more than the purpose of being cool looking.

theyre safety devices as well, and theyre supposed to be DOT approved for your safety and others.

Definitely fake. Skip over these type R style things and get the real things. ITR seats arent hard to come by and you can usually find them for 8-900 dollars.
