The Recaro Thread!

[Schwartz Perf]

Hello all,

The purpose of this thread is to get you all aware of Recaro brand products, along with pricing from Schwartz Performance. We're an authorized dealer for Recaro.


First off, Recaro recently wiped a lot of dealers from their authorized list, and changed around many of their requirements. It is now very difficult for an online store and even many shops to be an authorized dealer. A couple months ago, there was a company that always popped up on google when searching for Recaro seats. Now that same company is on Recaro’s Do Not Sell List. Yep, there’s a list of companies that we cannot sell to.
The main reason for this change is to have actual knowledgeable people selling the products with the correct parts and correct technical assistance, to help keep liabilities down and save everyone's butt if there is to be a problem.

Now onto the good stuff!

Recaro separates their seats into three categories: Tuning, Ergonomics, and Racing. Tuning seats include models such as the Sportster CS, which are sporty looking.. Ergonomic seats include the popular Specialist M and are comfortable, and Racing seats like the Profi XL.

All of these seats have several different materials to choose from.
Avus, Nardo, Artista, Jersey, Dinamica, Suede, Velour, Vinyl, AM Vinyl, and of course Leather, are all the materials that Recaro offers.


We know you're confused about all these choices, so here's the breakdown:


Avus: Ultra high quality cloth fabric, very comfortable and durable, softest material available.



Artista: High quality cloth fabric, geometric pattern, very comfortable and durable, medium soft. Harder than Avus, more along the lines of denim. Shown as the insert of the Sportster CS below.



Nardo: Ultra high quality fabric, very comfortable and durable, medium soft. Harder than Avus, more along the lines of denim.



Dinamica: High quality synthetic suede-like material.


Vinyl: High grade, thick, ultimate durability, not recommended for hot climates.



AM Vinyl: Looks more like leather than vinyl. (Simulated leather)


Leather: Beautiful top-grade cow hides, supple & strong.




RACING SEATS ONLY:


Velour: Very soft & smooth, "knit" like.



Jersey: Top quality pinpoint mesh fabric, medium soft, like sports clothing fabric, i.e. "Black & Silver Grey Jersey" is a silver grey jersey fabric with a black mesh jersey fabric bonded on top.
