Two Recaro Profi SPG seats in black Perlon velour, 1937.25 for the pair. Seats only, fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, FIA 8855-1999, six point harness compatible, no head support. Four pairs sold, three photographs.
The pair people buy
Four pairs from one page. The Profi SPG is Recaro’s standard fibreglass race shell, the one most club racers on Recaros sit in, and a car with two of them is a car set up for two drivers or a passenger who gets taken out on track.
Standard width
This is the standard Profi SPG shell. Larger drivers want the XL pair, listed at 2250 for 36 to 38 inch waists. Both take a six point harness and neither has wings beside the head, which keeps the shoulders free.
What the label covers
Each seat is homologated to FIA 8855-1999 and dated on its own label, and Recaro’s homologation is for the seat on Recaro’s side mounts as one system. Budget for two sets of those mounts and the frames for the car; give us the model and we will list them.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: What Actually Mounts A Recaro Profi SPG XL In A Porsche 964?, and A Perfect Fit: Recaro Profi SPG Seat, PCI Adjustable Mounts, and Schroth Harnesses in a Honda S2000. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
Will I fit in this seat?
Send us your height and waist size and we will confirm the fit. The paper dimensions only tell half the story, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so you get the honest answer rather than a guess from a chart.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
