Those look incredible, will they mount to standard recaro hardware? If so you might find some folks interested in mounting them in other cars as well (specifically looking into other seat options for my m3).

Is there anyone in the SF bay area who has these so I can test fit them in person perhaps. I would need to find out how low I can mount them since increased headroom (helmet) is my main motivation. Recently acquired and sold a set of very rare OEM CSL seats which forced me to sit far too vertical compounding my headroom issue.

Perhaps you could send a set to sharkwerks for demo purposes

+1, and is the tilt mechanism similar with just one quick lever?

Wow! For the price, these look fantastic! They are 10k cheaper than OEM CGT seats.

Will these still be available in two years, and will they fit in a 914?

Yes, it can recline forward and backward. Not sure about RS seats weight, this weight 33lbs each with all hardware attached. Airbag light can be shut down by dealer or Durametric tools.

Are these FIA approved seats?
ie. will I be allowed to run with these on a race track in a sanctioned event?
