RECARO RS-G

Does anyone have these seats? are they comparable to Recaro Pro-fis?

TIA!

Love these seats! IIRC, they are the same shape / dems as the SPG (which I have owned), only they use different materials and padding. I want a set in the grey/black for my Space Grey E92

I have sat in them, and they are brilliant for a weekend only / track car. Be sure to pay attention to where the harness holes line up in relation to your shoulders. For many, they are located too low, and therefore not acceptable when using harnesses.

If you are looking for more of a daily seat, the Sportsters are the way to go.



For reference:

It looks like it would be possible to source these, LINK

I really like the grey/black and the all alcantara version. Anyone know the pricing on these?

Looks like these seats have narrower shoulders and a narrower base than the SPG, doubt they would fit me. Really need to try some seats out the next time I am at the track.

that's what I was worried about. I'm 6' ft tall, about 175 lbs. I've never sat in a SPG before so I can't say the RSG will be the right fit. Maybe it's worth waiting till I try out some seats.?

The more I read the more I think I might need the Recaro SPG XL, only want to buy once though so I think I'll wait until I can try a few seats out first. 6'2" and 185 lbs.
