Right lads picked up a set of EK9 Red Recaros Last night and ordered rails today but the company rang me back and instead of 220 euro for 2 rails he want 360euro for 2 rails. What is the price for second rails??? 160 each sounds major Crazy to me bearing in mind seats wouldnt be much dear than that! Any help Welcome |

LOL @ SAM!!! The rails direct from Recaro are ****en expensive, shipping is a bitch because of their shape and weight (Recaro aren't cheap stuff, solid)... ¥18900 = €170 Thats brand new from Recaro JP without shipping... I'm lucking to pick up the passenger side near new but still expensive... Honestly, I won't go for those universal/cheap rail bases cause this is all thats holding my babi girl or my family or my friends in the seat if anything is to happen...

There are 2nd hand Bride AE111 rails on upgarage for ¥3000 - ¥6000 so €27 - €54 . Its just the international postage if you don't want them sent via sea that makes them expensive. |

It's my own fault I guess I should have done alot more research in thi but in fairness the lads did quote me around the 200 mark and then change to 350 which is a big big difference.Ill ust have to pay the haggled price of 300 and be happy with that:D |

No. That will not work the spacing will be worng. Its designed for bride seats of fixed back seats You need these two bride rails. A left and a right and they will bolt to your seats. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This bride rail will not bolt to your recaro. ![]() |

Seriously those rails are a joke. The don't even look safe to me. As in my previous post you need rails like these (the seat will bolt straight to the slider)(marked in green) ![]() The rails you have almost look home made. The lower part of rail you have posted in the last photo where there is no bar between the two mounting points looks like it would bend downwards when you sat in the seat or at least twist the rail meaning they wont slide properly. The spacing of the rails you have is the same as the last image I posted above and is NOT made for a Recaro seat. It is made for old bride seats. I'd be sending them back right away. |
