Champion Porsche (in Pompano Beach,, FL) had a set in their parts department - they are take-offs.

I'm having a set of Topline Sportlines installed tomorrow - wooohoo! Just as cool, but 45,000% more comfortable.

parkplace in dallas is where i got mine. 1200$US each..they messed up and sent me two passenger side seats...then when i called one of the lower parts guys asked me to confirm that my car is a right hand drive (jeez...i knew americans didn't know anything about canada but come one! lol). He forwarded me to his superior and got everything sorted out. They paid for shipping both ways as well and everything turned out very well.

Would recommend them for business in future.

As always, Gert at carnewal is a standup gentleman and board sponsor and can source the OEM Carbon fiber seats. You can also do business with him. Since you are in sweden, Carnewal might be a better option since he is in Belgium and shipping and logistics would be simpler than buying in the US.

I ordered them directly from a japanese factory, my friend had a groupbuy on rejsa, something like 11k SEK for a set with rails.

I have 2 more pairs in other colors I ordered if you are interested, hit me a PM!

Whatever your friend tells you, these are copies made in Taiwan not Japan (if made in Japan they would cost more than the Recaros) and are a waste of money in my opinion.

Unless of course they were in an accident that tested the strength and structural rigidity, then you might see that they are copies.

I don't understand why you call me Sir and why you bow down, I'm just telling you the facts.

You will see the difference and you would for sure feel the difference in the event of an accident.
