My honest opinion is that the seats look better in the 86! It’s a hard pill to swallow but sometimes we just have to take the loss move on Brother! The positive thing is that you have another Fox to put them in…💯👊🏾👊🏾
That much color difference would drive me nuts. I think it would you too! You're picky like me lol!! Good luck with your decision. Thanks for the videos!!
I’m running Planted Technology brackets with Recaro 0.70.9nt sliders. I think it sits perfect in my ‘88. I’m 6’1” and definitely feel it’s a lower seating position.
You need to get the 79 Pace car seat adapters. They are angular and will make the seat bottom sit level. The adapter you have is totally wrong. Maybe go in a pace car group and ask for pics. Then you will see what I am talking about. I would keep your stock seats just in case. I almost sold my 83GT reupholstered seats with netted headrests. They were out of my 82GT while I had pace car seats for a while. I decided the pace car seats were not the match, sold those and the 83 seats are back in my 82. Sometimes you have to try something out for a while
Ah the seat install and custom brackets - all the fun. Those seats match the 86. On seat brackets, you could gt a set of SN/New edge ones to cut up. You only need the foot mount. After that square tube or angle iron. I'll send you a FB message for more info.
Personally I would have put black seats in your beautiful red car .it would tie in better then any other grey seat because grey seats would need to be more color matched to look right would could be hard to do . But they do look good in your 86 car for sure . Black seats would just tie in better for you on the red car
Really no mystery. Planted seat brackets with Recaro sliders. Or mount the seat directly to the planted bracket to be at your lowest. I’ve had many sets of Recaros in many different foxes since the early 90’s. Can’t have a Fox without them. The stock seats are literal garbage and Flofits are trash as well. Thank Jesus for these overseas wizards for resurrecting all the Recaros.
I like my black interior.. I know you’re disappointed… I would be also. Recaros look amazing… just re dye - matches the 86 pretty close!! I like the darker grey in the 86.
I’m in the process of mounting my recaros I dropped the money on PLANTED brand seat brackets. Haven’t installed yet but mocking up they seam to have the right height and don’t sit too high in the front. The planted brackets have staggered mounted feet
I did a full review of recaro seats in a Foxbody that'll help other people i posted it here on RU-vid.. You're problem is the fox brackets raise the seats to much you need planted brackets and for the tightness well you can get a M bottom that's a less aggressive lower seat.
Better in 86 for sure but the 86 seats are really nice to I would sell the new ones and get another set of seats one that fit into and color you need alot easier then loosing 50 lbs 😂
That's a hard call especially from a black interior lover! I'm worried I order the 2k recaros and then they aren't comfortable. I had a 2011 cts-v and I was fat until I had the sleeve surgery but even at 200 lbs I could never get comfortable in the recaro seats. Question would the low profile seat brackets LMR sells fit? I guess they're for the corbeau seats!
On camera it looks like the cushion matches the titanium interior…it looks good. I’m in the same boat, I just received my recaros and theyre 5:14 snuuug! Im slim and tall guy but I don’t think these seats are intended for anyone over 5’8 and 170lbs
Nice seats but the color don’t match. I was planning to purchase the same for my 89 but now I know I won’t like. I am hoping they have other colors available
