Part Num.: T049RO (Right SW20)
Part Num.: T050RO (Left SW20)

These will fit the Recaro speeds pictured above.


Just Speeds, or the others too? Any mods needed to do that?

I couldn't say about other seats I was just researching the speeds. But no modifications will be needed to fit the bride rails to the recaro speeds. Bride/recaro are the same company.

I tried making rails which resulted in the seat sitting higher!
I found they will sit slightly lower on the frames from the fishnet seats

than these frames that came on the rev 4 option seats

which were about the same height as the bride rails
Image
So I am using rails off a set of fishnets on my sr3 speeds

It's got to be these bad boys! My all time favourite seats, look great and hold you in place.

DC2/EK9 Recaros

Go on the standard rails with some slight modifications also!

White with red seats! Love that. What are the slight modifications that the rails need?

Unfortunately i didn't do any sort of write up on it sorry. As far as I can remember we basically had to drill 4 holes for the seats to screw into then one of the base mounts needed removed and rotated ever so slightly.

I'll try and get some pictures when the weather gets nice again!
