recaro seat sliders and mounting

[67ragtp]

Who's slider have you guys been using to mount recaro's in a first gen camaro? Do they make a bolt in bracket? Are the sliders made by recaro. Im concerned about the seat height and curious how you mounted yours with mods or with out. Pretty much going with the speed s.

Thanks Rich

Rich, Try to locate a damaged Mazda Rx8, the sliders on the 09 models I believe are different than the previous years which should be all the same.
They come with Recaro seats

Hey Rich,

I've got the Wedge engineering seat brackets, and they work just fine. Only minor complaint might be that some modification may be required if you want to drop the Recaros down all of the way as the seat belt bolts hit the mounting bracket on the seat if you've got it on the lowest setting. Its hard to describe, I can get you pictures this week if you like. Regardless, if you're worried about height, they still sit pretty low on the middle setting.

the recaros only come in a specific model...it may have been the WS3 package....for some reason that sounds right....however i'm probably off. just an fyi.

edit: i just checked.....it's the R3 package.

Matt- If you have time pictures would be great- Thanks Rich

Finally had a chance to get some pictures for you Rich. I had forgotten that the passenger side bracket cleared the bolts by a hair, and that is what I got a picture of. If you don't have carpet padding around the area it should all fit fine. Took a couple so you could see about how high the seats are. The driver's side which is sitting on the middle height might be half and inch higher, if that.

I ordered the recaro speed s seats in all black vynal and the sliders and brackets from Wedge, he gave me a great price on everything.

Thanks again, appreciate you taking the time to shoot the pics- Rich
