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

if you get the right track it should be pretty easy

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

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

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!
