Ok, I finally got around to installing some old 320 Recaro seats in my 'O2. You learn as you go......the webbing things down under are shot. I know I've seen these for sale somewhere. The result is that I am sunk down low in the seat...way too low

can anyone tell me where a good place is to find these?

also, any recommendations on raising the driver seat up a bit?

thanks

I had the same problem with my Recaros. To raise myself up a bit, I slipped a piece of thin plywood between the webbing and the padding, and put another piece of foam on the plywood. I experimented with a couple of different thicknesses and stiffness until I got it the way I want. It looks perfect. You can't tell that I modified them. I got the foam from the local upholstery shop.

Since they actually sit a lot higher then stock seats I don't know if you guys are "short" or what but I sit just right...

If more power is better then way too much is just enough.

Kirin - The Recaro's in your interior have NEW webbing...therefor they sit at the correct height!
