Default Seat Sub Frames

Looking at getting some of these,


Upon looking on the websites, doesn't look as though Sparco do a sub frame for the S2000. Any ideas what I can do? Any other frames that might fit from people experience?
Any help appreciated.
Richie

Almost certainly too wide.
There are very few chairs that fit the S without rubbing door cards or console.
I would suggest looking in the US forum and serching about as many of them do this mod.

I don't think you would find rails that would work with these seats.

If you were to get bucket seats there are a few sets of rails that you can use.

Might be worth considering a set of Bride seats as they are commonly used in most S2000 track racers in Japan. Bride make sub frames for the S

Oddly Bride were always the poor relation to Recaro in Japan.
You only bought them if you couldnt afford the tag on the Recaros.
Although you would never think it with the price in GBP!

I cannot afford the bride seats, also I do not want fixed bucket seats. I have a set of Recaro DC5 seats that are just a fraction too wide, these look alot slimmer. After seeing some of the seats in some the cars in the US, I think they'll fit. I mean, some people have Bride Brix and they are nearly as big as the DC5 seats.

I think the options are either buddyclub or taitec/J's rails.

There are 2 other rails - Mugen and Nagisa
None of the four will work with recliners and will only take the narrower bucket seats.
