Default Recaro seats

Hey guys!

I have an Integra GSR with Recaro seats and rails. What I want to do is to take the Recaro seats and install them on my s2k Ap1. Obviously the Integra rails are not going to fit my s2k, so I've been searching around and I can't find a straight answer. Some people believe that since the s2k seats are made by Recaro I can just swap the rails and that's it, but don't know if thats true nor I have seen pictures of the swap. I also don't want to spend $500+ for rails.

Does anybody knows if the s2k rails will fit the Recaro seats for a fact? Those anybody have for sale some rails that will fit my s2k for a reasonable price?

Any help or suggestions will be gladly appreciated!

You could always pull your seats out and compare the how the rails bolt pattern.

If you can't use the rails from your s2k seats there is a company in California that makes custom seat-rails, they fabricated a set of rails for my RSX so that I could use Recaro seats from an Evo for $250 shipped.

Hmm... The frame looks identical to the Wedge rails, and my Recaro had a built in slider. If your Recaro's already have sliders I think you can get the same quality product for much less from Wedge.

Do you have the 2028 and 2029 from wedge? I'm asking because they have the 4144 and I don't know what's the differences.
My recaros have the sliders, just like Oem. I just want to learn a little about the rails, sliders etc.

No, I purchased these brackets for my RSX back in 2008. Just give them a call, from what I can remember they are easy-going and helpful; I had to provide them with measurements off the bottom of my seats since they came out of an Evo, but if you have standard Recaros you may not have to.
