Subframe for Recaro seat

[stiglet]

Just won a Recaro seat on ebay, and was wandering how/where i go about getting a subframe to fit my Coupe.

Which recaro subframe fits the coupe? Is it the one listed for the sport quattro or the one listed for the 80/90?

Also, are the subframes all the same for the whole range of Recaro seats or different? The guy says it's a Recaro Designer Sport although thats either a defunkt model or a fake Recaro as it isn't listed on the Recaro site

Thanks!

Pretty sure the Recaro subframes fit all the genuine Recaro seats mate

[stiglet]

Cool!

I'm sure it is a genuine Recaro, the guy seems pretty adamant it is.

Capital Seating are your guiding light. That's where I got my speed and where the Pole Position is coming from.

about to suggest the same place

[Greg_S]

Yeah will be about £90 for a subframe

[stiglet]

Capital seating just got back to me, they said the subframes have been discontinued

I guess i'll be making one myself!

Oh dear...

Try

Demon Tweeks just in case?

Got mine there about 9 months ago. Its for a mk 2 Recaro out of a Golf Rallye.

Any port in a storm.....

Good luck.

mk2 golf and corrado runners are the same as 80/90 just check the heaights though as theyre different

I'm pretty sure i've tried a mk2 golf seat in my coupe before and it didn't fit, runners were too wide. How sure are you of this as that would be great if it did fit

Gavs20v,

Don't think this is correct.

Mk 1 and 2 Golfs are the same as each other, although Mk 1s have their adjustment handle for sliding backwards and forwards on the outer side of the seat and the Mk 2s on the inner side of the seats, the B4 platform takes a wider seat base.

i.e. the two rear legs of the seat are wider on the B4s than a Mk 1 / 2 Golf.

BTDT.

Kind regards.

This is what i thought.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway though, i think the easiest way if i can't find a second hand one would be to weld my own using an old OEM seat base.

yeah i tried my mk2 gti recaros in my cq with no sucess, as Alex said too wide, possibly mk3 tho....i'm sure something will be similar?!?! what about Acidburn? he got somone to do his recaros...seems very good...

mk1/2's corrado's are the same, mk3 and late mk1 cab are completely different. I put a pair of editon one recaros from a mk2 g60 in my old 20vcq and they bolted straight in , but they were a little low. My wife has recaros in her corrado, i can meaure them if you like to make sure
