When i put my recaros in i used brackets bought through this company. Not the cheapest but not bad either.

http://www.wedgeengineering.net/

The drivers seat fits perfect it is as low or a tiny bit lower than the stock seat. The passenger seat is maybe an inch higher than stock, due to the odd mounting to the floor of the car on that side. It works ok unless i have a tall passenger, but it is level and looks nice. I had to grind on the brackets some to make them fit but they were close, and work well.

I should mention these brackets are designed to use the recaro sliders. You cant use the stock sliders in any way.

yea, i agree with him...i ordered the wedgeengineering brackets and i had to do sum cutting to the recaro sliders and drill some holes for them to fit, but i think thats cuz i had adjustable sliders and ordered non adjusable brackets.....but yea.... over all its good.


I assume the REcaro SRD and Recaro Speed(the ones i have on) are very simular and works great....jsut that it was a really tight fit.

The only problem is reclining and adjusting tha danm thing...lol.....the sliding bracket bar things (the thing u adjust the seat back and forth with) hit against tha side where the shifter is near.....also reclining the seat usually leads to hitting the roof......
iono.........
over all....... thumbs up.....

Yeah, the passenger seat in my car wont flip forward any cause it hits the roof. But the drivers seat works fine.

when i put my corbeau in, i made my own brackets. making your own enables you to set the hight and tilt to your EXACT driving position.
