recaro trendline or recaro pole positions???

[pritchard182]

i have been on the hunt for some recaros for a while now and wanted to know what peoples opinions are.
i want some trophy trendlines but cant find a set, and are they even that supportive?
or go for some super supportive pole positions. but will i then regret spending more cash on them and turn out they will be a pain in the arse when getting in and out of them all the time? also dont want to get harneses so would it look gash?

thanks dan

Ali's Vee has Pole's and standard belt's iirc....

Look well!

 

[Fletcher]

TBH i prefer the look of Recaro PP's

 

[nathanH]

Trendlines are supportive enough for a road car tbh

 

[pritchard182]

will have a look now i put the thread in the wrong place lol

Pole positions are uncomfy as f**k. Supportive yes.. But wouldn't want to sit in them for long!

that what i wanted to know m8 as i drive the car every day^^

I used to have Trendlines, for road use they were brilliant, but you do fall out of them on track!

If your road use only, defo get Trendlines

Definately Trendlines then. The PP's are good seats. Wouldn't want them in my daily driver TBH

 

[pritchard182]

PP's are fixed seats so they would fail an MOT with your back seats in.

What about the 197 Recaro's? Sportsters?

Here's a question - will the Recaro Sportsters bolt in a Mk2 (more specifically a Vee?)

 

[ForceIndia]

Don't get Trendline's. I've had them in 2 of my Clio's, waste of money if the car doesn't come with them. Not massively supportive, you're still perched up way too high, and they are way too expensive. There are better options out there, even for just road use.

Yes, but again you'll be sat high up.

 

[Mike_182]

Agreed. The Trendlines in the Trophy weren't all that - dare I say I find the standard Leather/alcantara items more comfortable!

^^ yupp a guy on here has the ones out of a corsa vrx in his 1*2 cant remember his username though

As above the PP's are not all that comfy...Did the trip in them and i was a bit uncomfy. Plus you need lower subfames.

I've got harnesses now!

That said they look awesome and are more racey and i only do a few miles a week in them!

 

[Mike_182]

Yes, but again you'll be sat high up.

Any way to drop those down? As I <3 the way they look but if I'm changing seats I want to go another 2 inches down...

But the treadlines look good!!

Not sure fella, I think you'd need custom subframes. The standard Recaro set-up bolts ontop of the existing subframe. The momo stuff is excellent, great seats that go a chunk lower.
Cobra Misano's are a good option as well.

 

[Mike_182]

But aren't all that comfy! The Sportsters look better (although whether they suit the Vee is another question!).

Can the Trendlines be dropped? Although it'd bin off the changer if I did as it's tight in there

you can drop the Trendlines lower by removing the vibrations spacers under the renault std slider... but then the slider doesnt work so well.
