Recaro Sportster CS install
How did you guys handle seat belt and weight sensor? for the seat belt mechanical, did you just machine a bushing and bolt it to the same bolt that attaches the recaro back to the base? I can probably work through it but thought I wouldnt try to solve a problem that has been solved :-)

For my race seat the inner lap belt mount I ordered a threaded 7/16 bung and welded it to the steel side mount. I think I got it from A&A mfg for just a couple of bucks.

Only thing I am not super happy with is the seats are about 1/2" higher than stock seats. Nothing that makes my head hit or anything, but still higher than I like. And my mounts are just flat stock, so I would have to modify the seat itself or remove the sliders completely to make it lower.

Dont know how Recaro works direct, I bought them from a dealer in Poland who custom upholstered them to my specs.

Looking forward to visiting him in person this spring.

What ended up happening with shipping and the airbags? Or am I reading correctly and you had them shipped w/o and have reused the OEM airbags?

Nice seats. They were amongst my top choice too, till I got an unbelievable deal on some folding GT2 RS seats...

It is illigal to buy aftermarket airbags in the US, so you can't get Recaro's with airbags here. Bought from Poland.
