Default recaro seats in 2008+ wrx sti

hello,

after a bit of help info.

I have been looking at various 2010 WRX STI hatch's and have noticed some of them have recaro front seats in and some dont.

was this a model change or were these available as options.

thanks for any info

Sam

330s was fitted as standard & any wrx sti at the latter end of 2010 to present day was fitted with them as standard too.

not available as an option

Be careful: modern Recaros aren't all they are hyped up to be.

i've seen reports of them wearing badly, and dealers/recaro being uninterested.
Plus I do know that the Recaro option in the Clio 197 Sport, for example, is nowhere near the seat the Renault Sport seats are, as regards support etc...but they do LOOK nice

In fairness, Recaro being uninterested is because they only supply the bases.
They are covered by the manufacturer - we'll at least with Subaru they are.
