Any word?
It seems Hahn won't sell to the US, so S08 Poles seem to be the best option.

These seat threads are killing me! I have asked before but don't think anyone ever answered...will this type of seat work with the RSD?

regarding Herr Hahn... I reached out to him, however he replied that due to prior dealings with customs, he preferred not to ship to the US any longer.

CactusWagen + Speedster seats =
Let me know if this helps:
OptionsAuto.com's Sparco seat tilt adapters, item #SPR-00494.

I contacted my Recaro distributor and they told they never heard of it and that it might be a European thing only. So I'm no help on that, I can get the normal Recaro seats that are available in the US.

Interesting. I'm curious where the seat back will sit as opposed to a regular seatback.

I just got email confirmation from Jeff Gardner @ Recaro USA that they DO offer the SO8 program in the US.
I also spoke with a representative of BBI autosport in Huntington Beach CA. They are willing to take orders for the SO8 program.

Let the flurry of orders begin.....

and

Thanks RonCT!

I should be able to here pretty soon as I have been dealing with Jeff Gardner too at Recaro in locating a new Recaro distributor to buy from. The reason my current supplier was no help on the SO8 program because they're dropping Recaro for some reason.
