You can get those rails from Yahoo Japan for a couple of hundred. All bolt in too if you get a Supra or Soarer rail.

Yes, but you KNOW the Supra quality is going to be good - some of those 'Recaro look alikes' are a completely unknown quantity, especially the ones on E-Bay. Then there's the issue of fitment - will they actually fit a Soarer and how....
the Supra ones bolt right in, and they fit...

The seats need to have ADR approval and many don't.

Sam, if you want some good lateral support the Supras won't give you enough. They're better than Soarer seats but nothing like Recaros. What purpose are they for?

Looks nice! Are they awkward to get in and out of with such high sides?

peter, i think you need to get used to of it, the seat is sitting a bit higher than stock one, so people over 185cm+ will have problem to drive it. This seat a very big. The bottom area is comfotable than stock one, but the back is a bit hard.
