Installing recaro seats

[brayden]

How would I go about install recaro seats

[lbus9168]

Rub yourself in olive oil in Pray.

what sort of mounts are on the seats? side or bottom?

There is alot of information available about how to install aftermarket seats, i reccomend googling.

[tommi]

side mounts or bottom mount? u would either need to get some universal slides or remove the ones off your oem seats and get aftermarket brackets for the slides to mount to.

I have OE Recaro seats in mine. Had to get custom brackets brackets made. Spent about 300 dollars on brackets.

Get yourself a good MIG welder. I like my Lincoln 140c. Then start fabricating away. Just use your oem brackets, of course, then make an adapter bracket. Did it for my buddies replica recaro seats into corolla

Wedge. If you de decide to order talk to me first. My brackets suck, but it's about easy fix.

$300 for suck brackets? I think I'd spend the 300 and get a Eastwood welder, or maybe a Hobart handler 140. Then you could re-make the brackets as much as you want.

Too each their own. 100 each and then 100 for a slider. And they're powder coated and they lowered the seat 2" with slider, 3" without slider. I also have no room to fabricate or tools to do it. Money well spent for me.

what rails and sliders did you use?

what rails and sliders did you use?

I've used EVO rails.
I didn't want to damage my original seats' rails, so whole thing is fitted using only EVO rails parts (no welding, just bolting everything) even though some cutting, drilling and hammering required.

I installed some RSX seats in mine. Didn't need any brackets. I drilled and ground out the rivets holding the RSX brackets and had someone reweld them wider to fit the CB7 mounting locations. No other parts were necessary, they all had the same angle as the CB chassis mounts which made it easy.

I think i paid the guy 150 to weld the 8 brackets to the RSX seat rails and to make it work. I basically brought him the seats and a ziploc bag of those brackets and an hour and a half later, I've got RSX seats like they were made for a CB7.












^^Driver side has adjustable height and lumbar too! which I think is a cool feature.

[vincenity_23]

^^^ Wow! How much did you bought the seats for?

[tommi]

i had a pair of those rsx seats once. after getting em here i decided against them. the bottom seat cushion sucks. and it was leather, and heavy as hell. no go for track use. i ended up trading a guy for my corbeaus i have now with harness,and sliders straight up. he was too fat to fit in the corbeaus ig and just traded me. better deal and lighter seats.
