1986 Mustang recaro seats?

[xxxturbo6]

I have a 1986 Buick GN that these will be going in. I'm looking for a seat that will help elliminate body movement while on the Auto-X. Has anyone used the RECARO seats out of a 1986 Mustang GT? and if so, How well did they work?

These have the bolster for under the knee's that pulls out and the adjustable bolster for the bottom.

I have a guy who offered to sell me both front buckets for $50.00. It's a good price and the upholstery is no problem, just not sure how well they hold you in.


Please let me know what you think..

If these are the ones with the mesh headrests...they work pretty good for what you are looking for. I am almost embarrassed to say I had them in a mini truck though and I did have the headrests cut down and made solid.

I have the same seats in my 69 Chevelle, the only complaint I have is it's going to be so expensive to reupholster them. Otherwise they are very supportive. Mine are out of an '85 turbo T-Bird and have a solid headrest, I like them alot. Any idea if anyone makes replacement foam/upholstery for them? Please let me know. I was quoted close to $1000 bucks to recover.

Any good upholstery shop can do the foam rework. As far as a "recover kit" I don't know. I have used a kit before and although it fit ok, it had to be reworked in areas. I would send them to a shop and let them do the whole job. If they are a good shop a grand doesn't sound that bad to me. There are alot of pieces on these seats. Bottom bolsters (2), seat cushion, pull out on the bottom for leg support, upper sides and top piece (all together), center of the lean back and the head rest. The mesh headrest...if I remember correctly has to be done with four pieces of material?

I had mine done in a "french stitch" I think that is what it is called.
