Mk4 Golf Recaro seats

[Proffitt]

Basically, will the 3dr mk4 golf recaro seats fit in my mk3 2000 Ibiza cupra?

I find the golf seats a lot more comfy than the standard Ibiza ones

Sorry of it's been covered!!


Thanks

Tom

Anyone??

 

[Proffitt]

No1 knows if it can be done?

i think the mk4 recaros are bigger than standard cupra seats so it migfht be a squeeze mate

 

[Proffitt]

Bigger, meaning too wide or too high?

A good condition set on the bay go for around £300 so not too bad

 

[dalegolf215]

too wide mate i had a mk4 golf and sold mine for about 120 iirc on the bay bout 2 year ago when i put leathers in
i might be wrong but the cupra seats just feel smaller to me
then there might be issues with the runners

 

[Proffitt]

Is is me or are the Golf seats more comfy?

Might be a custom runner job then hmmmm..

It's probablys because the standard seats are absolute shite?

Have you actually measured the space and get dimensions for the seats? There not going to drop straight in anyway your gonna need custom mounts/runners.

Standard seats being ****? The cupra seats?

No I haven't got any measurements at all, just wanted to know if they fit. Golfs and Seats are pretty much the same

i also want to know the answer to this question i have some mk4 recaros full set with subframes and everything i want to swap into ibiza mk3 1.4

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah the cupra seats are rubbish imo, no support and very uncomfortable.

If they will fit, do it.

 

[Proffitt]

Very true mate. I find the middle cloth toohard and the bolsters don't do their job! Lol

they dont fit mate ive just attempted this today..golf mk4 recaros completely different subframe setups and wont go into the runners on the ibiza

if anyone wants a set of blue recaros im seeling them all in good condition

 

[CupraElliott]

Dont wanna sound like a knob here but....I told you so. There gonna need custom runners.

Few options are have some bars welded in to accept the golf seats on there original subframes.

Or try and fit the Ibiza runners to the golf seats

Ahhhh sh!!t Does the seat actually fit in the space though? As in if you had custom frames made up they will fit?

 

[Proffitt]

Right ok, i might purchase some in the future and get custom frames

So what seats are a direct fit? Audi TT fit, but not straight fit...am i right?
