PLAYRZ Donating Members 333 Member For: 19y 9m 22d Gender: Male Location: VIC Posted 19/02/12 02:47 AM Share Posted 19/02/12 02:47 AM Lately I've been playing with the idea of replacing the front seats in my F6. Ideally I want something that offers more lateral support as well as something that is comfortable enough for daily driving. The most obvious option was to replace them with the seats from a GT-P, but trying to find a set of these at a reasonable price seems impossible, especially when you add the cost of re-trimming them to match the F6 interior.So what other options are out there? Recaro, Bride, Sparco, etc. all have some nice seats on offer but Im really not sure on whats involved in fitting these to an FG. Do they make suitable rails? Issues with airbags? Things like this Im not too sure about.Has anybody actually fitted aftermarket race seats to their FG and if so what was involved?Here's a few dodgy mock ups of the sort of stuff I was thinking of doing. Ideally these would be covered in leather with the same colour and design as the factory F6 seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up forum user 'philmeup' I think.. I think he put recaro in his T.. They need a fitting plate but can be done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
