Hey guys, I'm looking at redoing my whole interior in the net month so new seats , carpet door trims.

I'm looking into some fixed back recaros, brides or spar is and I'd like I maintain the same leg room. Has anyone had experience with this?

Yes, I had BRIDE buckets

* Put all the way back they had about the same leg room
* much less room to swing the legs in due to the side bolsters

compare

Yeah It's going to be my daily for a little while until I save up to get a decent run around. I don't mind about the getting in and getting Out I just don't want to lose leg space due to its being perfect ATM.

How did you guys go about mounting them? Did you use the stock rails?

Mine had BRIDE rails, specifically for the B120.

i don't know where i got them

Seats, Bride part numbers. Get two driver's side rails, as the one for the Bulge side doesn't fit the older utes. I had an adapter bracket to make it fit.
