Recaros were an extra option for the ae111 from factory I think (Correct me if i'm wrong), I got a set of of them from a wrecked BZ-R. Could put out an ad in the wanted section and see if anyone has a wrecked set that they might part with the rails. Worth a try!

You need some seat rails that fit.

I have a set of bride seat rails for sale that used to have Recaros on them but my car is for sale and i have never fitted them. They were bought from the for sale section on here

Pm me if interested ;)

If you want to try and use the standard rails (NB: Dodgy Method) you can get it cut, welded, etc BUT I highly advise against this as that rail is the only thing keep yourself from flying...

You can try the Recaro optional rails from the AE111 but depends what model LanEvo its out of they "may" not fit either due to different design and what not.

Try your local Recaro distributor for their advise etc =) Its something not to be playing around with...

The mounting points wont be in the same place to fix to the floor though.

As i said above - i have a set of bride seat rails that used to have recaros out of a teg mounted to them for sale with my car that i havent fitted but the are specificially for the AE111 wich i will seperate from the sale

The rails were originally mine. They had Recaros fitted to them. They will mate up to all DC2/DC5 seats. I'm sure Sam looked into and found out what seats had the same base plan.

Other than cutting and welding the factory rails this is the only other option.
