I managed to grab a set off of craigslist. I love these seats; they match the interior pretty well too.

Very nice fit! What's required to install the seats to the track?

Re: Recently installed Recaros...

I installed the seats using these brackets

They aren't cheap... but they fit very nicely. This is actually the driver side bracket that I pulled today, I needed to use one from a 4th gen so I could get a little extra head clearance... my helmet hits the roof when I autocross!

Re: Recently installed Recaros...

The seats are the LX seats which, at least to me, look exactly like the Recaro T/A seats. These are from 89' or so, I picked them up from an AE86 guy who had them in his garage for 10 years.
