Default Recaro or Bride seats in Del Sol... Anyone.

What's up... Has anyone mounted Recaro or Bride seats into a Del Sol. If so, do they sit higher than stock? What type of mounting brackets were used? Any pics or info would be appreciated... Thanks!

they sit higher than the stock seat n if you're 6'0 or taller your head will touch the roof. if you are going to install a rollbar your gonna bump your head on the bar, unless you sit really close to the steering wheel. not sure what brackets to use, contact http://www.sportcarmotion.com they had a pair installed on their project Del Sol.

You should check also the weight because i think most bride are a lot lighter than recaro.

This del sol has a set of Recaros, but it says that custom sliders & brackets were made.

i had a set of dc2r recaros, then swap them for dc5r recaros in my delsol.... they sit higher than the delsol seats as they are very low to start with... i used modified ek9 seat rails...

it's a very snug fit side to side however... had a 5mm clearance from the doors

If your average size go with what you like. Big guys like myself ain't got to many choices. BTW i squeezed my *** in both of them in a del sol,i like the bride ones personally.
