09 R3 seats?
Will the 09 rx8 R3 recaro seats fit into a 07? And can a get them from the dealership?
|
that's what i'd like to know. i'm sure they will.
|
they will probably fit fine, but they will be crazy expensive probably.
|
I am 99% positive they will fit.
Cost is the issue. I think they are $1500+ per seat. A seat of Corbeaus, for both seats and rails, would be cheaper. |
but the R3 seats retain the side impact airbags where aftermarket seats don't...

Yes they're very very nice, I'd look for a wrecked R3 in the coming months & try to get those seats at a better price. I'd hate to see the price Mazda is asking for them.

I'd be shocked if they weren't twice as much as that or more per seat.

Paul. but i will say the transmission is dreamy!!!! beers :beer: |
It seems there's no height adjustment on them. Is that correct?
|
I've called several dealerships here in Houston, and none of the ones I called were able to give me a price on the seats. They said that they could sell me all the parts for the seat and I could build me the R3 seats :thumbsdow

Yeah, they said it's probably going to be around 2k per seat..... :banghead:
Edit: I also asked them about the white/blue Mazdaspeed seats and they didn't know where to get those. This was couple of months back, so I don't know if anything has changed by now. |
i called some dealerships around here and they don't even have pricing out yet. just give it a couple months and i'm sure you can get a complete seat from them.

Sorry, I checked & they're definitely not on that website. However, a few look similar that you may have mistaken them for. You're going to have a hard time finding a set of Recaros that were specially made for the R3 that include side air bags from an aftermarket parts vendor.

Well, I called around today and got the following (some rounding up was done, but not much):
- Seat back: $4,000 - Seat cushion: $2,000 - Adjuster: $630 if I recall correctly (by the time we got to this I had already passed out) So, that's one seat assembly, approaching $7K. Just wow. My parts guy couldn't confirm or deny if the adjuster would mount up in my '05. He speculated it wouldn't, but I will withhold judgment until I see someone try it or have an opportunity to try it myself. |
Ouch, I'm sure there are better prices available. The MSRP difference between a Sport model & R3 model is about $5k, yet Mazda's prices for the R3 wheels & seats are almost double that. Crazy...

You haven't figured out by now that the big money for manufacturers is in post sale customization components. ;)
