Recaros

[ed the driver]

im thinking of buying a clio 182ff and was looking for 1 witht he recaros fitted, like the trophy and cant find 1 anywhere. So im looking to find out where i can source a set of recaros and sub frames if needed? What sort of price would be decent to pay for a set?

cheers

Ones from a Trophy sell for about £1k!

 

[Barron]

why not buy a trophy? they are going for pretty good rates atm and the suspension is far superior apparently.

Capital seating will sort you out for about £1400 all in.

Depending on budget i would just buy the Trophy TBH.

i'd love a trophy and spoke to a boy about his, he wanted £6k or so it was minted but he hasnt got back to me, so i thought get a cup/ff and stick recaros in and i'd be happy using that as a run about, standard seats are unbearable!

cheers for the posts

is it possible to buy these seats from renault? or even the new recaros from the 197 if they would fit? Do they defo need a new sub frame or could you use the standard one?

How are the standard seat unbareable please? have you ever sat in them?

+1 i think the standard half leathers are one of the most comfortable seats put into cheapish cars and i drive a hell of a lot of cars.

Nothing wrong with the standard seats, it's just the driving position thats awful. TBH, the Recaro's are overpriced, and don't remedy the driving position. Many people pay through the nose for them on the name alone. There are seats available at half the price, that improve the driving position vastly. Having had 2 cars with the Recaro's (Trophy and my old Monaco 172), I'd never get them again.

I love the standard 172 seats

The Trophy wouldn't be a FF - no xenons on it

sat in theem plenty of times, and every time they make me very uncomfy, and makes driving unplesent.

if the recaros are'nt that good, what would be recommended? im looking for something more comfy and better looking and a change in driving position would be great!

Far lower than the Recaro, especially if you remove the washer in the subframe.

Might be putting my FF up for sale soonish with Recaro's but I'm a bit too far for you me thinks

The Trendlines are a Big improvement over the squishy standard rubbish.

as fitted to my old 182. much lighter than the standard items, probably about 15-20kgs lighter in total than the standard fit items.

I have these sparco milanos now,

Almost as good with adjustable lumbar and memory foam so moulds to you when you sit in. A bit heavier due to being full leather, but much more luxurious to go long distances in compared to the misanos.
