JDM ITR front seats in EK - what brackets/rails are needed?

[blarue09]

I have searched for the answer but keep coming up with info on the rear seats or USDM itr seats. I read that swapping the inner rail only works to fit USDM DC Integra seats in an EK Civic.

Could anyone with experience fitting these into an EK tell me what brackets or rails are needed? Also, I would not want to use super low rail kits as I am 5'7.

Thanks

Are you talking about the Recaro SRDs? You have a couple of options...

1) Get JDM EK9 rails - I had this on my car when I had SRD's and they sat a bit high for OEM seats
2) Get aftermarket rails from BRIDE (Type RO) or even Recaro ones, ensure that they are bottom mount and have a pattern that will work with your seats
3) OR call up/order custom rails from Wedge Engineering with double locking sliders.

the JDM recaro itr seats. They look very similar to the SRDs.

With the EK9 rails, did the recaros sit higher than the stock civic seats?

I got JDM ITR seats to fit into my eg6 hatch using the brackets that came with the seats... cut the ends off, positioned them in the car and placed the ends of the brackets where they needed to be aligned to the rest of the bracket and welded them back on each end. I think the front of the brackets had to be cut off and moved slightly to the left.

I am not looking to cut or weld anything, just looking for what rails, brackets, etc are needed to install an ITR seat into a 96-00 Civic.

Super late response on my end...

No, they did not sit higher than factory civic seats, but they felt "tall" for a racing seat. I had fixed back Recaro SPG's at one point and going from those to stock seats and then to SRD's made me realize how tall the SRDs actually felt.

Has anyone used Planted brackets with jdm itr recaros on oem rails and sliders?

 

[blarue09]

Anyone? I found out planted is a family business out of the US and the brackets are actually made in the US as well. Any reviews?

I have Wedge brackets with my current setup, for the price they aren't bad. I believe they'll be able to fab up some brackets for your Recaros.
