Default Will DC5-R Recaros fit in an FA??

Looking at the pictures of the FA-R, the Recaro seats look identical to the ones in the DC5-Rs. Can anyone confirm if they are the same seats?? If they are, will the brackets/sliders fit an FA??

The Recaros that come out of the FD still have airbags in them correct?

Find a good pic of the interior of the FD2, look at the floor on the hatch R, its not flat like our cars. Your best bet is probably the FD2, I wouldn't imagine they would change the seat brackets, especially since the bottom of the seat is esentially the same (Si seats are assisted design by recaro, and they have the same height/recline controls and from the looks of it plastic bezels)

thanks for the replies....i never really got a good look at the seats beyond what I could through the windows in various pictures. Those Type-R recaros look like they DO have airbags built into them though. If you look very closely, theres a little tag on the side of the seat. The seats themselves look very similar with the main difference being the height adjustment pump and easy recline lever (vs the old spinning ****). However, does anyone knows if the mounts are the same between the DC5 and the FA/D??

If you see that tag about halfway down the seatback, that indicates airbags. However, you'd probably have to check where they are located.
