Ive just bought a set of focus recaros in good condition I got for cheap.
Wondering if these will have the same fitment to dc5 rails that other recaros have?
Other question was will premier ep3 rails fit onto recaros the same as dc5 rails will?

An are these the only modifications if I need to make them fit? Is the Dc5 rails (spacer modification) all I need?

Cheers for help

i think i read somewhere that all recaro seats have the same mounting points, its just the subframes that are different.
Is it the focus rs mk2 seats? Iirc thats the only focus that had recaro seats
Just remembered the mk2 st had recaro's too, but they are rather chunky, wonder what they'd look like in the civic?

I'd assume they are Focus St seats, thats the main source of Recaro seats from foci

The boy never actually said. I'll put up a picture once I get near Internet. These have subframes that have recaro written on them. But I dno if the holes will line up with dc5 rails

They might be from a Focus but don't think they're OEM?

Regardless, just get some EP3 Recaro rails and they'll fit fine.

they may have been fitted in a focus bt they have never been in any standard production car. Only car they may hev been on was the rare as rock T230 which was a precursor to the mk1 focus RS

The focus rs had Sparco seats no?

The focus rs had Sparco seats no?

Yup it did. Awful blue ones.

My old next door neighbour had one, interior was worse than an EP3. Blue steering wheel wears and looks sh-t.

The ST170 had Recaros like that

nah, the optional custom pack were more like the latter St ones with separate headrest.

The T190 and t230 editions i though they could be were actually retrimmed cobra seats so not those either.

Looking at them again i think they may actually be Evo 2/3 seats

Regardless to what ever focus they came out of.. They look really nice

Agree with you on the early evo seat, they do look very much like these http://dingzgarage.blogspot.co.uk/2010/ ... 3-set.html

Alot of these recaros have the have the same layout just different look. If that makes sense.
Tryn to get the measurements of the dc5 rails but struggling =\

[2413martinb]

Got them for £180 though. Thought was alright price

[R'ash]

Sounds like a good buy to me
