QFT, I think there's a bunch of EP owners on this site right now considering whether to put 8k into their EP's or their next car. I'm leaning towards the EP.

okay i got another question to all owners with the same seats as mine. does your have a small little pump ball thingy on the side? what it does is pumps air into the back support area and pushes it up. i dont even know if im explaining that correctly. ive ran into a few local ep3 owners that own teh same seats but they do not have these pump thingy.

It's like a pump that fills up the back area with air and pushes it up. Feels good for long drives.

When you have Recaro Questions the best place to find information is from a local Recaro dealer. The name of the option you have with the pump "thingy" is called lumbar support. It's an aid for the driver on long rides. You can also order this option and have it installed or install it yourself. There are some other other options for those seats like ventilation and seat warmers.

i already knew it was a lumber support. i just wanted to see if any other ep3 recaro owners had it. but thanks for the heads up about the ordering option and installing it yourself. thats news to me.


edit: i also called a few recaro dealers and they asked for pictures and never got to me. thats why im asking on here. plus i know a few people are running the same seats as me on here.

well if anyone wants to know i guess my seats arent ep3-r recaros. found out there Recaro Sport Topline Seat

heres a link to where i can confirm it. picture also shows the back lumper support pump also. so its safe to assume these are real recaros but not ep3-r lol.

i was just using his picture as references cause i saw him selling it on another forum and with further snoopin around for more info i figured out my seats are the same brand due to the pump.

i already stated my seats werent the ep3-r seats lol

i thought the topline was heated seats? if u got topline for the price of the ep3r sport, u came up bro!

i did a little search.

Recaro Style range: The main differences between the Recaro Style Trendline, Sportline and Topline are the amount of electrical controls provided built into the seat with a control panel located on the side.

The Recaro Style Trendline does not have electrical adjustments for the seat position or climate control. This has manual adjustments.
The Recaro Style Sportline has added electrical adjustments for height and movement.
The Recaro Style Topline has the full electrical package including electrical movement, climate control and tilting.
