i believe the Recaro's use a different bracket. u will prolly have to get some sparco/recaro/momo ect brackets in order for it to fit correctly.

Try contacting Wedge Engineering. I believe they manufacture brackets/sliders for most seats and cars..

Wedge takes forever.

Put the 3 bolts in that fit.

For the fourth hole, drill the spot, fill the hole with epoxy, so the bolt has more area to bite into, let the epoxy harden, and you're good...

YOu need to buy the Civic type R Recarro Rails, and then it's a direct bolt on.. finding them will be a bitch.. took me over 1yr to find a set..

I won't drill a hole/use epoxy!!! that's just a hack way of doing it..

Yup

good luck finding them... another option would be to get some JDM Vision low-profile rails, they sit about 2-3 inches lower then the stock Recaro rails

That's just the sliders. You will still need brackets specific to the car to bolt them in. Looks like that seller also carries brackets, so send them an e-mail and ask about it.
