if you are asking whether they are OEM Toyota fit, they aren't.

OEM fit have the recline lever only on one side, and the harness guide is not shiny plastic.

 

If if you are asking if they are genuine -who knows?

 

Thanks buddy

 

Yeah it was regarding if they're genuine [emoji4]

I can't agree with You. My Supra being a late, facelift, RZ model, comes with confetti recaros as a standard and I have recline levers on both sides, just like the ones from ebay link.

My old RZ 6 speed had genuine original Recaro's from the factory.

 

It was a M - Registration late pre facelift.

 

Just checked some old pictures.

 

Tilt slide levers on both sides of each seats (ie. 2 x levers on each seat, 1 x inner and 1 x outer), and my harness holes were felt.

 

Glad I double checked, as my memory obviously failing me.

There is always an argument about the tilt levers on oem seats. Keron sold me my old ones as oem from a Supra and they had levers on both sides, and he is unlikely to lie.

 

No one ever agrees lol.

 

I'm pretty sure they are genuine Recaros mate

Yeah I've been doing some research about the OEM fit ones just out of interest, they never come up for sale and I missed out on Mobeen's when he was selling his Supra collection earlier this month

 

I just wanted to know if these were genuine, which I believe they are

I can't see the fascination with these seats, they are too narrow for me and I have difficulty getting out of them without squidging my plumbs on the sticky up hard topped bolster. :D

 

Me either, the pattern reminds me of 90s Coach seats or for the nerdy, L1011 tristar seats :D

OEM - Felt seat belt guides, tilt levers on both sides upper, single fine tilt adjuster lower outer side.

I think that last one is where the confusion comes from as the ones in the photo have the fine adjusters on both sides and people confuse these with the tilt levers.

Loads of great information here regarding the Recaro seats! I'll combine it all for anyone else looking at this in the future
