    I HIGHLY recommend one understands what foam and type is used when restoring your seats.

    Please check that the type of foam used matches OEM quality.

    Too soft foam feels nice for a few miles but tends to disintegrated rapidly and doesnt provide the original Recaro firmness and support.

    Haasman, Autobahn did the seat resto and I selected them based on the opinions on this board. They did the carpet kit and after getting the seats back I decided for them to go ahead and do the rear quarters and rear window/firewall panel. Tony really knows his stuff for this era interior. That is based on others on this board and my interaction.

    I had them do the materials but I wanted to tackle the install.
