Default Recaro SRD's in Z?

Does anyone have any idea if Recaro SRD's from a jdm ITR will fit in a Z? I have a pair i bought from a friend that i was going to put in my hatch but would much rather put them in my Z if possible but i cant really find any info on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
BTW I never have posted on the forums yet so i thought id say hi and show my Z ive been building for about a year now

I don't see why not... they can't be wider than an OEM Z seat. Your going to have to buy Z specific rails though. My ASM Recaro's have Bride Rails so check them out and make sure rails are available before you buy.

OK ya I was a little concerned because the OEM seats are already almost hugging the door panel and seem pretty small as they are. I think theyd look great so i guess ill have to do a little more research.

I'd specifically look for a correct seat rail... I'm almost 100% sure they'll physically fit as they can't be bigger than my Recaro set up. Someone did an Evo VIII/IX swap not too long ago on here too.

bringing this back up.

are the bride brackets adjustable height?

how low is the seat position with the bride brackets? i've used wedge engineering brackets in the past and have never had any problems and they had 3 height adjustment points on the actual bracket/rail.

any insight will be greatly appreciated, might PM Flo-ridaZ33 if i don't get a respond within a few days.

thanks in advance!

Depends on what seat you get. Generally non-reclinable seats bolt from the sides and use the adjustable brackets where-as reclinable seats bolt from the bottom w/o height adjustment.

Non-reclinable w/ height adjustment:


Reclinable w/o height adjustment:
