Default Installing Racing Seats

I was wondering if anyone has personally done the work to install racing seats (Recardos). i was wondering if it is a hard work or close to effortless. Any words or saying? thanks

Like rominl said if you have the right track its easy.
Its tempting to use a universal track but save yourself the frustration and put up the $ for a vehicle specific track.

I paid about $350 each for my bride tracks

yeah that's correct, don't get universal, get the right ones for more money but you are much better off

Especially if you are throwing down a few grand for Recaros. If you had a Civic with APC seats the universal brackets would be fine

Default universal track vs specific track

Thanks for the input you all. So basically the universal tracks are higher and will raise the seat height from the original correct? And if I find the one that is designed for my car, it will lower and not sit so high?? Am I getting this right? thanks again!

not sure about the universal tracks making it too high. i don't have it so i can't tell for sure. but i saw in my friend's bride's seat before. i thought the seats themselves are quite a bit lower than stock?

They do sit lower than stock but the height is not what we were talking about. It just makes them easier to install if you have the brackets made for the seats.
