Sorry, I don't really have anything to add. I'm curious about how these hold up. I have genuine Recaro SRDs in my M3 and I have to say these look like a close knock-off. The reclining hardware is very different but it certainly looks the part...

How long do you guys figure they will hold up?
And how do you install them, can you use factory rails?

I apologize, I showed my friend the ebay link and he was all over them. Better luck next time I guess.

Kidding of course as you already know. I enjoy the look of the seat, just not ready for the possible consequence after time has tested them. Good luck in whichever you decide

I've sat in those seats before at Super Autobacs and they feel like ****. The seat is designed for fat people or something because it felt really big on me. Also the padding is hard.
