quick question ??

[VinnyEK]

does anyone know if ek9 recaros without rails fit on ej9 rails ? also is pre facelift bonnet fits on facelift ? sorry in advance for stupid questions thanks

 

[egshane]

no and no

edit not 100% sure about the rails but fairly sure you need ek9 rails.

but pre facelift bonnet does not fit facelift

 

[VinnyEK]

no point in buying either so ?

 

[egshane]

well if you have a facelift car you need facelift bonnet so in that case no ha

Answer to both questions is no mate
-recaro mount on the side whereas standard ej9 seat rails mount on the bottom, you could still buy the seats them buy rails separate quite common for most people
- bonnet defo won't fit either, pre face and facelift are different sizes

are the rails expensive ?

 

[kammy11]

Usually about £100-£150 for ek9 ones mate but just the fact of finding a set for sale. A lot of people buy dc2 rails as they sit slightly lower and tend to be cheaper then use them in their ek. 3 of the 4 holes line up perfect and only slight modification needs to be done to allow the 4th hole to line up

thanks man !

Nope. Major fabrication needed.

This man has maybe done it before, I haven't only going by what I've read online. I bought ek9 rails for my recaros
This is a picture of the 4th hole in dc2 rails, I shall you decide if it is major or minor fabrication

 

[VinnyEK]

just looked up there rails seems difficult to find :/
