Hey guys..

I might be picking up my Recaros tomorrow.. They're '04's with the blue. I have a 2.4 coupe. This set comes with fronts and rears. I'd like to use my Recaro rears if possible. At first I heard you couldn't, then I heard you could.. Anyone know for sure? And if so, how do you remove/install them? I'd need them to work/fit totally OEM. I never have anyone in the back, so the tray isn't a big deal. Just 2 more cup-holders.. haha And the Recaro fronts from the Ion DO totally bolt in 100% direct, correct? The only thing is the seatbelt warning cord thing.. I know the Ion's don't have that.. So do you just leave them unplugged and you're good to go? I could care less about a blinkly light.

Thanks!

 

.. No one??

 

i dont think they do

 

i don't see why not. its not like they're attached to the front or anything. many people just swap the front seats.

either way its not hard to take out. you just have to remove the top parts by releasing the clips on the side near the door sills and pull them out. the bottom comes out by pulling up the rear of it (near trunk) and pulling rear and it should pull out of it's slot.

oh, the coupe and sedan have the same seat setup on both cobalt and ions i believe.

 

right but i think they designed them a tad differently, if they didddnt i want a set for my rears damnit

 

I'll try it tomorrow and let you guys know what I find..

 

We demand pics after install btw.

 

You'll get the fronts at least.. haha But if the back works, you'll for sure see it!

 

UPDATE!!

The rears DO work! The proof is in the pudding:

 

nice they look good props to you

 

Thanks man!

Not sure on fitment of a sedan though.. I heard the seats fit in the same, but not positive..

 

i know the front's fit i wanted to change out my rear seats.. i dunno maybe i'll have to go find out now

 

Yeah, because the bottom is just two small tab hooks on the bottom that you hook the seat over, then the rear part of the seat just slips into place, and the seat backs are held in by a rod on the one side and a tab on the other..

 

looks good, how much did u pick those up for?

 

Basically 400 bucks.

 

good deal!

 

yeah the sedans are the same. im going to be doing mine soon. i don't want the redline ones' though because it wouldn't match my car.

looks awsome man!

 

Thanks!

 

Looks good bro! I thought about getting stock recaros however I dont thing they would look good with my red/black interior. I think im gunna get a few red Tenzo R seats soon.
