Does anyone know if a pair of corbeau sprints will fit? I am only short so the seats will need to sit infront of the pillar not behind.

Cheers, Craig

Z3 seats - but they don't tilt so access to back seats isn't possible. I've got E92 M3 seats in mine (pics few pages back), but the heating control on the later Bimmers is complicated - uses some ECU control (PWM I think) rather than just simple 12V feed, so I never got that working.

Cheers :) looks like mainly the TT ones then, I was think other day about someone I know has a 04plate LE corsa with leather heated seats? They may be a good shot too eh? Car is small--ish

 Not sure there are holes at the sides of the seats where switches have been that some one has removed before i got the seats.

They do do heated ones after a quick search on eBay, you will have to show us pics n comment on amount of room to access to rears once fitted?

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows if the recaro seats from a dc2 integra will fit?

Managed to ask some guy on ebay for the dimensions

Bottom of the rails to the top they're 92cm.

Widest point across the shoulder bolsters is 55cm, as is the width of the base (bolster-bolster).

The depth of the base is 56cm and from top of the seat to the front of the base (set at a comfortable position) is 69cm.

Judging from the dimensions given, they will fit fine in terms of height and the shoulders should be okay.
You may not have much leg room behind and the base seems quite wide so that is the only thing I'd be worried about

Thanks for the reply dude.

I have skinny friends so maybe they'll still fit in the back :P

Wont be buying them anytime soon tho, just thought it would be cool to have the same seats from the car my engines from.

I was going to get some dc2 seats, but I'm going to get evo 4 Recaro's which are the same seats, just black. Dc2/ek9 seats are silly money. Whereas evo4 seats are half the money. Unless you want the red...

How should I go about fitting my GTA seats? the runners have a hole each end so could bolt to a frame? The front could bolt easily to the cross member, but how do I go about doing the rear? Could I pivot the seat on the front and then have a clip on the back (like the originals)?
