Sitting Too Low?Can’t See Over The Dash?
If you have older VW, BMW, Porsche, or other car fit Recaro aftermarket seats (LS, LX, Ideal C, etc), you probably know what I'm referring to.
The seat bottom suspension sling or webbing strap(s) in the old seats have broken or disintegrated with time.
The suspension straps offered here will replace both the 3-strap type seats, as well as the single sling type straps common to the VW GLI factory seats and other aftermarket Recaro seats.
Included in this listing are the following:
6 new 3-inch wide 10-inch long elastic webbing straps, 3 for each of your seats.
The 10" long straps are designed to stretch to a length of approximately 12 inches, the distance between each metal securing hook. The seat pan hook holes are approximately 14 inches apart. The straps are approximately the same width as the original factory straps.
Approximately 15 new “hog-ring” clips to secure some of the upholstery to the straps or your original strap hooks.
Shipping will in the US, everywhere else in the world the USPS delivers to. I ship within 1 day and you should have them within 3-5 days. No reason to wait several weeks for an order to be delivered from Turkey or Europe.
Thanks for checking out this item.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. There are 2 seat base designs I have worked on.
If each of your seats have 3 straps secured by 6 metal hooks, then simply remove your seats from the car, removed the old webbing and hooks from the seat pans.
Remove any hog-ring clips necessary to complete the job.
Using the original hooks, install the new webbing straps. Stretch them so they fit tightly.
Install new hog-ring clips as necessary using some pliers.
Reinstall your seats.
It’s that simple.
If your old Recaro seats are fit with a single sling-type suspension, then this kit will work just fine but you will need to modify the thick wires on the sides of your slings. All you do is cut the wires from the slings and create 6 hooks per seat to attach the straps in this kit. You will likely need some diagonal cutters and some needle nose pliers. Works like a charm! Many VW GTI and Porsche 911 owners have done the mods without any problems.
