Racing seat swap made easy needed....

Hi everyone, I want to change my front seats, they are old and worn. Want some recaros or f82 m4 seats. I want to know what's the easiest way to do this and if there is a sponsor or a shop where I can just buy everything need for installation.i don't have the time and patience to deal with it, want to buy then with all I need to plug and play. Any idea who can help?

I just went through this... Even though I mostly had everything i needed, the kits don't come with any hardware so you have to find all the nuts, bolts and washers on your own... and you'll need someone to code out the airbag warnings and seat occupancy as well unless you don't mind the warning lights and remaining airbags not going off.

That's odd. I have thought about the race seat upgrade and obtaining all the parts and brackets seemed a pain.

Now it looks even more a pain if you get someone to include the brackets but not the bolts.

It's not really that odd if you think about it. Seats are generic and made for many cars and most adapters mate to many seats and cars as well. So providing the exact nuts and bolts for what ever your application would be fairly difficult for the manufacturer.
