ManwithSupra Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Just been reading another thread about seat rails for the Supra, and came across a link to a company in New Zealand that sells a Rail kit for the Supra. These rails are compatible with Recaro, Sparco, Momo, Bride, Sabelt, Cobra, Racetech, Racepro Seats. http://www.nzkw.com/productDetails.php?id=42&c=30 Now they list these at $125 NZD per rail kit and $65 NZD for shipping to Europe making the total for two seats £150 delivered (+ any customs charge) The bride rails are at least £230 each !! Whats the difference between these and has anyone had any experiance of these KW rails? The only thing that may be the difference is that these look like they are not sliding rails (which is fine) Edited September 13, 2010 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) RHDJapan for one Zep Racing Recaro Rail it is 246 Euro delivered to Ireland, so not cheap Juran Racing http://www.tanida-web.co.jp/ I Think it is ridicolous the price of seat rails, a cheaper option has to be there but Safe; even 2nd hand Recaro Supra rails must be in abundance in Japan , crazy they are so hard to find The Evo 7 Seats are costing me 350-400 euro for the set, if it is another 500 euro for rails ; not happening. Will hold out and get new Brides in leather with new Bride Rails for 1800 euro off RhdJapan delivered Edited September 15, 2010 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManwithSupra Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Ok got a reply to my email .. "We currently only have the JZA80 mounts available in Right hand side, and we will have the left side mounts available late this month. The seat sub frames are fixed mounts which bolts directly to the stock mounting holes, if you need move the seat, you have to buy sliders to go between the seat and sub frame but most don’t bother and have them fixed" I said that i would only be interested once the right hand side rails becomes available to which he said he will let me know. I think it would be worth me ordering them once the right hand side becomes available and then see what the fitment is actually like, even if they turn out to be not so good at that price you can’t ignore it and I will post the details on here once i get them.... right... now i need some Corbeau Sprint seats....

Sounds good keep us posted, Even order just the right hand side and see what they are like If you are in contact with him again, say you have a few Supra owners interested. He might get his finger out and get the Left side mount Fabricated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I want to wait for both to be available is to save on shipping really, I dont want to spend more than i have to on something like shipping.

Jay_vr6 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 do i assume that you reuse the original belt buckle/plug from your seats when installing new rails and a recaro seat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the Seat rail should have a bracket the Buckle bolts too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_vr6 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 just an update I purchased Kw auto rails for £85 delivered. They came yesterday, they fit perfectly although i prefer a laid back seating position and had to modify the subframe with a couple of new mounting holes to sit the seat further back. My recaro bolted straight up and its awesome. Seating position is around 2 inches lower than stock. I'm going to order the sliding rails from kw i think for a little more adjustment.

ManwithSupra Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Cant really ignore the price at 2 Rails delivered for £185 Its just worth trying them for that price.

ManwithSupra Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Upon fitting my Corbeau Pro series Seats today here is my verdict on the KW rails Upon delivery of these rails I noticed that they did not come with any side seat mounting hardware (L brackets), or indeed any bolts for things like attaching the seatbelt buckle. So you will need to source these yourself so bear in mind that this will equate to an extra £200 on top (depending on manufacture). Apart from that, the fitment was very good, all holes bang on and no real struggling fitting them to the floor mounts at all It was too dark for pictures so I will take some tomorrow after I have given her a long awaited wash So my verdict. Good price for Rails if you have bottom mounted seats (£185 Delivered) If you have side mounted seats like mine then expect to pay another £200 (say £380-400 in total inc rails) in mounting and hardware parts. All in all I am happy Edited November 20, 2010 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
