Recaro Subframes

[Big Lee M]

Wish it a been sooner as I was going to bid on a pair of recaro's with subframes 99p and £15 delivered nobody bid on them as well

[Rusty]

I'll see what I can find then!

[stiglet]

So do the mk3 golf S/F?

Yes

Or at least I think so....

Go on Andy, be a guinea pig.

[Rusty]

Yeah, get it done

[stiglet]

I'm pretty sure they do fit and height looks to be ok too, but I just want to make sure. Sorry I've taken so long to get this, i'll get it done today!

[Rusty]

I think the rails are offset towards the centre. The gap between B pillar and seat is larger that between the centre console and seat. Be good to see if the mk.3 Golf ones do fit cs Recaro still make them...

[stiglet]

Went to have a look but they only had a drivers side and I had taken my passenger side off to test it out. Fit it in but the centre rail was off, so I'm not sure if this is because its the wrong fitment or the wrong side, if that makes sense.

Took some measurements and will check it out when I have time during the day.

So do the mk3 golf S/F?

[Rusty]

Yeah, the S2 SFs do shift it right next to the tunnel, as do the OE seats if you look.

Andy, those pics look like the subframe will fit but shifting the whole seat to one side. One thing I noticed with the Recaro was that there is zero room either side. It just about hits the door on one side, and the base hits the trans tunnel on the other side. Might be just the seat I have though. Made making the subframe quite tricky at first!

Will find out tomorrow

Hello,

I think I still have 2 of those subframes at home. I can have a look this WE if you want. Do you have the part number sothat I can check ?

But maybe a bit difficult, and espensive, to send it to GB ...

Wait till monday :-)

Hopefully find out soon if the mk.3 Golf subframes fit or not. From looking at pics it seems like the outside rear support leg is short.

Coupe on the left, Golf on the right

[Rusty]

Me neither....

Just need to help my victims out... sorry passengers

[stiglet]

LOL! Well I don't have a problem with that anymore, so it is definately lower.

The head / sunroof interface is the only reference I understand
