Just curious, is it hard to keep the red suede on the seats clean? Also do they get dirty easily?

 

Well i dont have any Recaros, but if you're looking into some seats go for the sparco torino. There really comfortable, and cheaper i think. About keeping clean and do they get dirty (recaros) i presume there about the same as the sparcos, but i dont really know.

 

these seats are very hard to keep clean. Plus everytime it rains you have to throw a cover on them so you don't wet them with the rain, that gets on your pants and jacket. It also cost a pretty penny to get them clean.

 

i dunno i have black srds and they're really new. red and beige must be a lot harder to keep clean tho. black blends in at least =T. hope that helps.

 

Thanks guys, anybody else have any imput?

 

i have some red ones, but only had em for 2 weeks, so interested in this topic.

 

Hmmmmm this topic will be interesting as i may decide to go recaro instead of sparco, but im sticking with sparco so far.

Recaro SRD (non-JDM, non-suede) are $518 each on Optauto.com but they have a weird pattern on em

 

When I got mine, I picked black but a friend of mine picked red. The Red is like a velvet material and gets dirty very easily but the black uses a different material that is heavier duty and easier to keep clean.

 

I used to have red Recaro's, they were the SR-Millenium model (only available in Asia-Pacific) and although they weren't suede, they were still a bitch to keep clean. So I sold them and bought a pair of Black w/red stitching JDM ITR Recaro's.. you still need to get them cleaned every now and then, but atleast they still look clean even if they are dirty

Unless you and your passengers are extremely clean, go for black-coloured recaro's..

 

so the torinos or the recaros?

 

I don't have the suede SRD's, but I have the standard cloth ones in red. Not hard to keep clean, but I did get some interior cleaner on a portion of the seat and wasn't able to get it out, so it turned into a small spot of light pink

I heard the red SRDs will fade after prolonged use in the sun.

 

well i'll go for the torinos then

 

man it snowed and when i opend my car door of course the snow went all over my brand new special edition SRD's!!!!!!!!!!

 

i have red torinos.....just as long as there's no grease or tar or anything on your clothes that'll get on the seats then you have no problem. the material is called jacquard that comes on the torinos. no complaints so far on them except for the fact that it takes FOREVER to adjust them forward and backwards because you have to turn a **** around and around instead of just pulling the usual lever like the recaros

 

recaro ownz sparco then again bride may own them all

 

moving the entire seat forwards & backwards, or adjusting just the back part of the seat? If you pull a lever on a recaro, then you got a fakie my friend.. because last time I checked, all real recaros have a triangular-shaped **** you have to turn.... if that **** isn't triangular shaped, and doesn't have a recaro imprint on the plastic near that ****, then you also have yourself a fake recaro..

 

nope i have sparcos.....i thought the recaro's back piece adjusts by pulling a lever similar to the lever on a stock 92-95 civic seat...........whereas on my sparcos, you have to 'microadjust' the back seat every time you want it in a different position

 

The Recaro SRD seats have a lever on the verticle portion of the seat that you lift up and put that part of the seat forward so you can access the rear part of the car or let someone in.

It also has a micro-adjusting **** on the bottom part of the seat that adjusts how forward/back you sit, in small incraments.

So, to sum it all up - There are 2 levers/***** on the SRDs that allow for moving of the seat (besides the bracket/slider assembly).
