datsundan Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I just scored a set of evo 8 recaros for $400.. and was wondering if any of you out there have some in your dime because i need help on how you did the brackets. When i got my dime it came with some integra seats mounted and im not sure if the brackets are the factory 510 ones or not because the brackets dont look hand made and they are welded to the sliders. i was debating on whether or not to fab up some brackets or just hacksaw and dremel the welds off the old brackets and re-weld em to the recaros. any input would help.

ichorid Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 just depends on how you want em in. You could fab up a mount. or you could drill new holes and use blocks to level the seats out. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would just grind off the welds and use(reweld) the ones you have. If you like them anyway. Stock or not they fit and work so why not? For my 350z seats I'm going to just weld stock mounts onto the stock z33 sliders via either square stock or 3/8 plate, easy peasy. Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 you can fab up if you have the time and skill but some buy the wedge brackets to mount the factory sliders. cost more but makes it easy Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Ya that's why I may use 3/8 plate. The seats are naturally super low, the square stock's added inch doesn't make THAT much of a dif. Pref aside lower is always better though. I personally like to sit high but I know its bad. They are actually like 1.5" lower then stock even using the square stock. Not to side track the thread but to give an example here's a comparison. 350z with square stock mount. stock Quote Link to comment

Those aren't my pics, I have the seats and car. Thats the route I'll be taking. Check my build thread and you'll see where I'm at. I agree about the pref that why Idk if I'll use square stock or 3/8 plate. As good as low is the z has a long hood and tall dash. The rest to roof clearance looks pretty good to me. The owner of this car said he is 6'2" and with a helmet hes got like and inch. I'm 6'1" so I think I'd be good either way. Quote Link to comment
