What is the difference between the RECARO Comfort Specialist S, M and L?

The cushion. The RECARO Comfort Specialist S has a shorter cushion with flat bolsters for small to medium builds. The M is the Easy Access version, with a longer cushion and very flat bolsters plus an extendable cushion for simple entry and exit. The L pairs a long cushion with pronounced bolsters and an extendable cushion for maximum upper-leg stability.

Which variant should I choose?

Work from build and how much lateral hold you want. Smaller drivers suit the S. Medium to large builds prioritising easy entry and exit want the M. Medium to large drivers who want the cushion to actually hold their legs in place through corners want the L, which is the same length as the M but far more bolstered.

How does the RECARO Comfort Specialist compare with the Expert?

The RECARO Comfort Specialist is the entry point to the comfort range, with preformed side bolsters in the backrest. The Expert adds adjustable backrest side bolsters as standard, so the backrest fit can be tuned rather than fixed. Cushion options, upholstery range and adjustment features otherwise line up closely.

Can it be ordered with heating or electric backrest adjustment?

Yes, both are available at additional cost. Contact us before ordering so the specification is locked in, since neither is simple to add afterwards. Electric backrest adjustment brings a wiring requirement, which is best sorted alongside the mount choice rather than after the seat arrives.

Are seat mounts included?

No. Mounts are sold separately and are vehicle-specific, so the correct bracket must be matched to your chassis. Order the mount with the seat, as the bracket sets final seat height and has to clear the adjustment mechanism and any wiring if electric backrest adjustment is specified.

Is it sold as a pair?

No. It is sold as a single seat, so a matching pair means two orders plus two sets of mounts. Cushion variant can differ between the two sides if driver and passenger have different builds, though upholstery is usually kept identical across both for a consistent interior.

Available with optional electric backrest adjustment and offered in three seat-cushion configurations, it allows drivers to tailor both seating height and leg support to their exact build. The S variant features a shorter cushion ideal for compact drivers, while the M variant balances everyday comfort with versatile bolstering, and the L variant provides an extended cushion and pronounced side bolsters for taller individuals who need greater upper-leg stability. Refined shaping and RECARO’s signature attention to detail make the Specialist a comfortable, confidence-building upgrade for any interior.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
