Default how to; dc2 seats into ep3

ive seen it a few times before but no exact answer to how to get the dc2 recaros to bolt into my ep3. if anyone knows what rails or what modifications you have to do to make the stock rails work that would be awesome. I know the dc2 sits low but if i can get them to bolt in i dont really care

EP3R Recaro rails have a different bolting pattern to the DC2R (SRD) style seats. OP will need DC5R Recaro rails which will have the correct seat bolt pattern, plus bolt into the EP3.

But unless you can find DC5R rails by itself and cheap, might as well throw in DC5R Recaros in as they usually sell as a set with rails. Regardless, DC2R and DC5R Recaros will sit as the same height with the DC5R OEM rails, unless you go aftermarket.

ok thanks, wasnt sure if that was the only option or not. i ended up making a bracket to bolt the rails to the seat with a piece of flatbar steel without hacking up the rails up so all good
