a nice place to be...

leighspped · 03-10-2011, 04:21 PM

Ive just picked up my 11' Z base+ sport for about a week and a half and as expected the seats are not up to par as my daily driver is an audi. So after some searching and going to a recaro dealer i think i found the seat which i like. Does anyone have any experience on installing them? Fitment and any other details that i should take into account?

I've attached a link to the recaros which i want to order

Recaro usually fit pretty nicely.

isn't it just a matter of getting rails and adapters/brackets?

oh i see... you'll want to unplug your battery (-) before you do that so you dont accidentally deploy your side airbag. and also get resistors to trick the SRS system so you dont get an error light.

also a good time to check your auto window reset sequence (audio section) because your windows will not roll up correctly after you unplug your battery.

i think modshack did a DIY or atleast featured his sparco seat install here.
