Default Did search! difference between EK and DC2 JDM recaro rails

I have a DC2. I have a slider for JDM recaro and I find the one of the bolt from the USDM seat is not long enough to mount the rail onto the car. Did I get a EK rail?

The position of the holes seem to be correct.

thanks.

If its the flat part of the holes (the other three are bent downwards per rail) and they're shorter by like 2 inches then yes you got CTR/EK9 rails. BTW the CTR/EK9 sit higher then the DC2/ITR rails.

I absolutely agree with that. The JDM Recaros (w/ DC2 rails) sat nice and semi low I thought. But the EK9 rails in my hatch were rediculously high.

yes, its the flat bolt/hole that is having problem. My bolt is too short. However, on my passenger (Right) side, there does not seem to have the same problem.

On that flat bolt/hole, there is an extra plastic insert that makes the hole sit higher, so that's for EK?

forgot to ask... since each set of rail for a seat can be separated into 2 if unbolt from the seat. Is it possible that I get a left side ot DC2 and right side of EK?

No. The EK9/CTR rails sit higher. You have to use DC2/ITR rails. You can not mismatch because you'll be all lopsided...
