Recaro subframe query

[Wick]

Hi all,

Quick question. After reading the stickied thread on recaro seats I understand I would need the recaro subframes to fit trendlines or similar into the clio. Are the mounting patterns the same on the bottom of all recaro seats?

i.e. If I wanted to fit a set from an evo, would the subframe be the same as if I purchased an OEM spec trendline?

Additionally if anyone could link me to said "clio fit" subframes it would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Sam

I'm getting some custom ones made up tomorrow that attach to the existing runners. I might setup a group buy if they work ok. Capital seating want £270 all in, fcuk that!

I have heard 120 per side for the recaro/clio subframes, although haven't managed to actually find any yet. Customs could be interesting, it seems silly to be paying more for the subframes than for the seats!

Capital seating stock them for £80 last time I looked. All recaro bases are the same fit, on Accord type R seats the captive nut was in the wrong place so I just fitted a new one.

im not an expert but as far as i know all recaro trendline "speed seats" have the same bolt pattern, i have origonal recaro subframes and evo 6 recaros in my ph1, hope that helped lol

I got a price last week, £270 Inc delivery.

Christ, seems like I got a bargain then, was a couple of years ago though.

Hmm, thanks for the feedback people. Expensive subframes when you consider the seats aren't worth that much out of evo/accord.

Is anything else needed to fit them?

Clart, how much to you think production costs for these custom ones would be?

 

[Clart]

I think costs will be approx £80 all in, but they'd need painting and some ht bolts to mount the seats. Also they will be cheaper if I can get 10 or so people interested. I've got some pretensioner mounts with my recaros, but the fabricator could easy include something to fix them to. I'll post full details when I have mine back later this week.

That would be amazing mate. Thanks!

 

[Kieran..]

I would also be interested in some of them!

£270 for a set is right - I have some on my recaros

My recaros and subframes are for sale

 

[Wick]

Haha Phil yours are very nice, but unfortunately way over budget for my budget bus!!

Clart is that £80 for a pair?

 

[Clart]

Yep £80 for the pair.
