I have got some ITR recaros… and i know alot of people who put them in DA’s use Wedge Engineering rails i was wondering how the seats sit in the car and how the rails look on the seats if any1 has pics it would b greatly appreciated
I didn’t use Wedge brackets because they make the seats sit high. I used my OEM brackets on my old SRDs and they sat lower than stock.
Would u be able to elaborate on that?? Mayb post a little write up ?
The only thing is that you need to have 2 plates welded to the stock rails for the seat to sit. The metal plates I made out of flat plate I got from Home Depot. I would take a picture for you, but I sold the seats and switched to a single Recaro Pole Position which I used stock rails to mount also, lol.
I kno there is a write up on G2IC already but its not super clear mayb u could help me out with it a bit more
Yea.u had plates welded to widen the placement of the rail on 1 side by 1 inch correct
There are flat bars you can get at Home Depot that I used to box the stock rails. You have to take the rails completely apart until its flat. You them mount the stock rails back into the car and lay the flat bars over them to build a box. That will be the base of your Recaros
O ok I see I understand I didn’t think of it that way thx for ur input I’m gonna do a write up when I get started
My Setup with Wedge Engineering Brackets and recaro sliders.
And how would u say it feels??? Do they sit high? Keep in mind in comparing to stock seats
Honestly for me it felt the same, if not a tad bit lower.
O well I guess ill rock stock rails cause I’m cheap also give a chance to make a write up for others
where’s the write up? ahaha. I’m getting some red itr recaros soon
i will make a write up once i start(tomorrow hopefully) the one i found here on G2IC i acctualy had to read a few times but it does acctually seem like it will b quite easy i will try to make a easier to read write up with more pictures
yea please post some pics i want to see whats involved in installing those seats
ya if u go over the write up thats already here and have some DA rails and a Recaro seat infront of u, u will understand how he did it. i read it 5 times before i completly understood how it was done and now it will would when i do it. the only thing wrong with his write up is the pics arent the process of doing it there just randon pics and finished pics. i will take a pic of each step so everyone can see how it turns out in the end.
Does wedge make rails for seats with side mounts? Like the Vision Imus, Mugens, Bride Low Max, etc.
ive got no idea email the company i got a quick response when i emailed them
Clarification for installing the ITR Recaros in a DA
xx
I know this is an old thread but since there are a few Recaro/rails threads on here (and I have read them all) I didn’t think there was any need to start another.
I was just wondering spyder_099 if you ever took proper step by step pictures of the modified OEM rails during your process? I only have one set of OEM brackets and sliders and I don’t want to butcher them without knowing exactly what to do.
Thanks.
