Default Recaro Brackets For GS

I've searched but no one gave some solid results. I'm looking for a bracket + rails for the GS that will fit recaros. Anyone know where to get them? Or if you have to get them fabricated?

Also, did anyone find a plug for the airbag warning for our seats? Specifically for the GS? Or does the IS300 one work?

Is this the only place? I heard they charge $200 for a pair.

Can anyone chime in on the airbags?

AFAIK for the Airbag warning, just load it with equal resistance. Should be the same as the IS300 but the easiest method is to mesure resistance and just match it with a resistor....
Yep wedge is the only place I believe for rail/brackets.

$200 / pair is CHEAP for Quality seat bases!!!!

You will also need sliders. Recaro dealers sells them. Two options; flat or tab...that depends on the seat and bracket you choose

Okay, I'm looking at stock Evo seats, so the sliders should be included and all I'd need is the bracket I believe.

I have seen some GS's do a racing seat mod and the only thing I'm worried about is adjusting the seat. Racing seats look like they're pretty low when mounted in our car. Is there anything I can do to lift them? I'm 6'3, and do drive with the seat pretty low, but I don't want to feel like I'm sitting on the floor.
