parm Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Good morning all, I was planning on getting a set of black leather seats to replace my cloth seats but then I saw a few build threads with Recaro SR5's which look really good. I'm going to need to use the rear seats every so often but couldn't find anywhere if these actually lean forward like the oem's to give access to the back. Can some one enlighten me please? I seem to have created a huge list of parts in a very short period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I've just bought a couple of brand new Sr5s off amazon, for an absolute steal !! I'll have them on Tuesday so i'll let you know if they have the catch to bring the seat down. I expect they do, most of the pictures you see of them online show the catch.

RichTrdAlsop Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Im pretty sure the "SR" stands for speed recline as thats what always comes up when searching for SR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supratoc1990 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 they do, but not with any sort of effort ... you can get them to go forward but depending on the car and head room then they will keep falling back and as far as i can remember there is no spring to keep them in the forward position but they will stay their non the less but very delicately the pic is bad but it shows the leaver on each side of the seat...
