QUESTION FOR RECARO SEAT OWNERS

NovaSS4spdFan · 05-23-2023, 01:04 PM

I opted for Recaro seats for my recently ordered LT-1 Vert.
Besides the benefits that I've read about, do the Recaros allow for a higher seat adjustment than the stock cloth seats?
Thx

I have had the stock (leather) seats in my previous Camaro, and now the Recaros. I love both, but as far as adjustability they seem the same to me. I could be wrong, but I set mine exactly as as I remember my other seats being. I did play around with them and they seemed to have the same limits as the other seats did.

Are they full power in the LT1? In the ZL1 they go way up and way down

I had stock seats in my 2016 SS and have Recaro's in my 2018 1LE. I can definitely tell the difference, from a really good seat to seat that fits me like a glove. Having said that, are the Recaro's more adjustable upward (or any other way)? Not that I can tell.

I have a 1LE with the Recaro's, and because I'm so tall, the Recaro headrest design prevented me from using a harness. In my search for a solution, I discovered the seat frames are more or less identical, and I was able to use the non-Recaro headrests in the Recaro seats. Consequently, I think it's safe to say the seat mechanics are all identical.

Ok, are the cloth seats full electric?
