Recaro Seats Fitment Advice

[duncanTsport]

Im looking to change the front seats in my corolla T sport i found these on the demon tweaks website

Could anyone tell me what subframes i would need to fit them and where i can buy them from. I can't seem to find any and I don't really fancy paying for a custom job.

The subframes are the least of your worries here pal . I have been through this , the main stumbling block is the airbags in the standard seats , you can put ur nice recaros in ,but unless you do something about the sensor youll have NOairbags at all , i.e the front two .

so i did a little more research and i thought i found the solution of airbag sensor canceller , now this is an offical TrD product ,but designed for the australian corolla iirc , found a company in japan that stocked them , they said it wouldnt work on our euro spec car .

so i emailed fensport just to get a price and try it anyway , 85quid delivered ,so i thought not risk it .

its up to u realli , i was going to go down the evo 4 ,recaro seat route as these alredi fold and just get them retrimmed all in all cheaper than that seat you like on demon tweeks

I have Evo Recaros in mine, one of the best mods i've carried out.

I had the original subframes modified to fit, little bit of welding was all it took. Difference being that mine didn't have the airbags, so was straight forward really.

As for retrimming, got quotes for several hundreds of pounds to do the front two seats, too much for me sadly, so I left mine. Ok, they are different to the rear bench, but I can cope

I looked locally, and spoke to a few that I know from my time in the trade, still megabucks!

Shame.

Still, they do me for now :-)
