Default High end Seats wanted

I have a 67 pro touring camaro. I currently have a set of Sparco seats which fit great but the side bolster is breaking down on the drives side after only one year. I'm looking for a quality made driving seat with the back that will recline. Recaros are great but almost impossible to get. Does anyone know were to get Recaros or another brand that is high quality. I tried speed freaks and what a joke. It was phone tag for ever.

Thank you

Jim

Thank you for the reply. No, I have not checked with Corbeau. The problem is I need to seat in the seat to see how it fits. I don't want to pay shipping back if they don't fit me well. I have sat in the Recaro specialist M and they fit nice.

Check out the BMW m4 seats. I got them for my 69 Camaro. Comfortable, look great and has power!

I bought a set of Recaro Sportsters back in late October and it only took 3-4 weeks from Germany. From what I'm told, that's the average time.


What lead time were you quoted?

RECARO:

Between COVID and their manufacturing move to the US they have been playing catchup. I hear they are nearly back on track now.

Try the BMW M4 seats they have a similar shape to the recaros but have power. I’m putting them in my 69 Camaro. They fit very well.
