Both sides of a road car
The Sportster CS is Recaro’s road sport seat: a reclining shell with deep bolsters that still tilts for rear access. Two of them in leather and suede is a fast road car with its interior done properly on both sides, and two people have done exactly that from this page.
Four point on a recliner
It takes a four point harness, which most reclining seats do not list, so the car can run belts on track days without changing seats.
Options elsewhere
The single Sportster CS with a side airbag is 1782.90, and with airbag and heating in the Cross trim 2210.25. This pair is the plain leather and suede seat.
Fitting
Base mount on a 405 by 290 bolt pattern. Seats only, so the frames for the car are separate. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: Recaro Sportster CS Seats In A 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage?, and The Recaro Sportster CS Performance Edition Fitted. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
What is the difference between the Sportster CS versions?
The range includes versions with seat heating and a side airbag, and trims from Ambla leather to Dinamica suede, so check the option list on this listing for what this exact version carries. Fitting uses car-specific direct-fit subframes; tell us your car and we will confirm the right one.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 36in to 38in or 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
