Default Is $600 a fair price for a pair of Recaro SRDs?

Looking to "save" my OE Sport hardbacks and thought of picking up a pair of Recaro SRDs for the 993. not sure how much rails (slider mounts) cost, but was curious if $600 is a fair price for a pair of used but near perfect condition seats.

Can anyone provide a bit of insight?

Last time I purchased SRD's new, they were $1600ish for everything. I believe the seats alone in black fabric were around $600 a seat.

They are great seats!

I bought my SRDs new a few years back when Speedware had them for $1000 a set. I paid $160 more to get a sub belt hole put in them. Sliders were another $200 for a pair.

I think that $600 is a fair price. I wouldn't sell mine for less than that.

I also agree that the price is excellent. I never liked the looks of those seats, but have sat in them at a DE session and they were very supportive.

One issue with SRD is that they are a bit hard on the street (not enough padding). especially so around the shoulders where the belt pass-troughs are. Otherwise an excellent seat and $600 a pair is a good price if cloth covers are in good condition.

That's what I paid for my used SRD's with sub-belt hole, picked them up about 6 years ago. I wouldn't sell them for less than that, so I'd say it's a good price. Go for it.

And they came with the sliders, so just a quick bolt it. Is the inner adjuster already cut off?

I dont understand why people take their factory seats out to save them Who are you saving them for? The next owner? Why not enjoy them yourself,

I have some seat mounting hardware in the classifieds if that helps:
