Default You peoples with Sparco's and Recaros... what did you do about seat brackets?

is it possible to retain height adjustment?

I had a thought last night for recaro seats, could the seat brackets from a quattro sport be used for other recaros?

Default Made em.....>

In fact, I'll throw them in for free with the seats!

Guess it really depends on the seat ie whether it is a shell with sidemounts or a street seat that mounts on the bottom. Sparco also makes some universal sliders, but I preferred to bolt mine to the stock ones..

Default typically height adjustment is lost with sportier seats>>>

mine are tab rails and replaced oem mounts. I needed to cut them down another notch as the previous owner was a bit shorter then i....

I think if you research the seats a bit, you will see if an aftermarket seat has height adjustment, it will be noted in the "features" section of the seat...

My Recaros are only adjustable for rake and seatback angle.....everything else is fixed.
