How To Install Recaro Seats
 
 

The first thing I noticed about my  91 Sentra SE-R was how stiff the suspension felt. My back wasn't feeling too good after driving long distances. The stiffness was due to 2 things. One: the shocks were blown and needed to be replaced.  Two: the seats are 13 years old and worn out. I decided to go with a brand I know I can trust when it comes to making seats:  Recaro. I'll admit, the price hurts, and it hurts bad. $600 a seat, plus rails and sliders are another $135 per side. It's an investment but after sitting in them, it feels like my shocks aren't blown anymore. In particulary, I picked the Recaro SRD seats, which are great for the street and track. They hug very well, have a pump so you can pump up the lumbar support.  They're also a great show piece -- people know your serious when they see Recaro.

Here is a picture of the new Recaro SRD just being pulled out of its plastic covering. I decided to go with a dark navy blue. A darker color is easier to maintain and my carpet and interior pieces are dark blue.

Taking the stock seats out was very easy. Just remove 4 bolts under the seats. You'll probably find a lot of loose change and other things you've been looking for under those seats!

You'll have to put on the sliders and rails. We went with the Wedge Engineering bolt-on brand. We had the right tools to get the job done.
