The s2000 was not designed for a full bucket seat and the factory seatbelt, the porch was

These are awesome! Makes me really want to redo my seats. What did this custom job run you Rick?
the look of rick's interior is 10x better in person and they feel ultra comfy.

thanks Kev, I drive my s2000 and it MUST BE COMFY!

P.S. I had 4-point seat belts in past cars but it's pretty dumb to be driving around with it daily! You can't even turn your shoulder to look at your blind spot which is dangerous. I admit the stock belts take some work to fit correct but after I had custom brackets made it all works just fine. Just be sure to use Grade 8 bolts.

I have sparco evos with takatas and they are very comfy. Even my girlfriend says she prefers them to a regular seatbelt, that's really saying something there. She's pretty girly and i expected her to bitch when i first got them but she actually likes them better. Anyways, my main point is that comfy and safety do not always go hand in hand. But not only are you compromising your safety without using a 4,5 or 6 point harness with a bucket but your losing the advantage to having a bucket by not being held tightly in place insdide your bucket. Stock seat belts are made for stock seats, and harnesses are made to be used with buckets. I think a lot of people want the look but that's all they are really caring about here. With harnesses you need a roll bar to hook them up correctly and what knot, your looking at a lot of money to do it right. If your gonna do something, do it right, that's where i stand anyways.

Anyone install Recaro Sportster CS in the S2000?



I can only find one picture. Looks like the headrest is above the roll bar.

Bride Stradia Sport and these Recaro Pole Positions are top notch stuff. The Bride rails are much much better in terms of quality but these rails work pretty decent. I still have to modify the passenger adjustment bracket so it can clear the 2006+ passenger side hump. Right now that side is not move-able

For all of you taller guys, definitely go with these seats I listed above. You gain about 2" of headroom and NO MATTER HOW YOU MODIFY YOUR STOCK SEATS YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE THIS FEEL! Trust me I tried with my OEM CR seats and finally gave up!

We took it one step further and added heated seat elements in both RECARO's before having them reupholstered so I am fairly confident that these are the BEST SEATS IN THE WORLD for the s2000 right now unless someone can show me something more functional and looks this nice.

My car is not a track car and this type of side bolster is as about as much as people can live with on a daily basis. There's a few R8 owners who also use these seats and some NSX owners who use them too - simply the BEST for your money.

I have to agree. The RECARO PP are by far the best all around full bucket for our car, in terms of comfort and looks.
I had a set in cloth before and just installed a new set in leather and I am very happy with the overall look they give the car and the comfort for street driving.

BTW those custom CR ones are gorgeous!!!

NSX-R seats are but at the going market rate, I'd rather have a motorcycle than spend that kind of money!

Those Recaro Sportster CS seats in that yellow s2000 are pretty sick too but I'm all done, not going to spend more money...hehe Just out of curiosity how much are those?
