Recaro Pole Position side mounts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

gpvecchi · 12-30-2022, 03:55 PM

I fitted a Recaro Pole Position ABE with its specific ABE brackets, but it sits quite high.
Do you know if the FIA side mounts can be fitted on the ABE model?
They should be lower.
Or, can you recommend another specific side mount?
Thanks!

I am in the process of manufacturing and selling some side supports for recaro pole position abe using the oem sliding guides

You can talk to me on Instagram if you're interested, I should have them ready for production in few weeks

Thank you very much, but I have the JDM specific Recaro sliders. Do you plan to make a standard, but lower side brackets too?

no, I like to use the original sliders, they work much better than the recaro or any aftermarket brand.

over time they get loose and make noise, while the oem ones are much more rigid and slide smoother

@Ruben_86_ those look awesome! Is that your interior? I want that same setup with dual Recaro Pole Positions. Do you have any more pics? I don't have instagram (I searched for you and it says your account is private).

yes, it's my car, I don't have many photos of the interior

I am very happy with the seats, they are much more comfortable than they seem, everyone who travels with me tells me so.

To use stock sliders, they need to be cut away from the seat, I'm not interested in damaging stock seat.
Sorry, but Recaro sliders are top notch, much better than stock ones and will not get play during time. They are made by Klippan, that's the stock producer for many german cars.

No, they unbolt after you remove some plastic clips. No cutting.

I also have the recaro and they do not have the quality of the originals.

Bride FG is low in these cars. The lowest setting is so low the bottom of my bucket seat was sitting on the floor.

You can see how much lower my driver seat is (side mount) bride FG seat rails versus my passenger (bottom mount) Bride MO

Unluckily I don't thik that Bride FG sliders fits Pole Position, as the maximum width is 395mm, while the PP is 405. PP will hit the sliders, while typical japanese buckets fit between them, so they can go much lower.

@Ruben_86_ Were you able to install the driver/passenger Recaros and disable all the dash lights for the air bags, etc. ?

I wonder if such custom made side mount brackets:
1) don't net extra width due their shape like L, not 7, like in later schematic pics?
2) if they cannot be made adjustable for wider selection of seats .. by simply changing their bottom mount holes to longer slots?
