Default RECARO JDM type R seats... passenger seats is higher ???

Take a look at the picture, the passenger seat is 1.5 inch higher than my driver seats ?? what could explain this problem ? Is there different height ?

I bought the two seat at the same time but used from a guy...

Anyone could help me please ?

The driver's seat is reclined. Other than that, it looks the same to me.

on the driver seat the 4 bolts were bolt-on but on the passenger seat just 3 bolts were ok... and I have the impression that im not sitting really straight forward in it...

Try checking the rails. You can have a shop fab your OEM rails and sliders, then bolt your seats to those. Just a thought.

check it...the way you can tell that the passenger seat has integra rails is because only 3 bolts match up...if they were civic rails...all for would bolt directly in.

Judging by the picture, I'd say you need new windshield wipers.

If the rails are different, and only 3 of the holes mated up, it sounds like you've obviously figured out the problem.

I have a great idea...instead of bumping this thread...go take the seat rails off and try your stock rails on it

I believe I had the same problem as you. When I bought black JDM ITR Recaros for my GSR, the driver seat bolted right in. The passenger side, however, only three holes lined up. Well technically, one hole was a little sideways and one hole needed to be bent down. I was able to align one of the front holes to fit the screw into the hole. The rear hole needed to be bent down, so I took a hammer. I got all four bolts in. The passenger seat seemed to sit slightly higher than the driver seat. I didn't bother me. But I wonder what kind of rails I had since they were removed from the same car.

easy

drivers side is civic rail

passenger side is integra rail

yes your stock rails should work with some elbow grease. Mate them to the sliders under the pass seat
