Corrado subframes? They sit lower and not 100% but have been advised they are a direct swap. Defo worth investigating.

Hi

I think my seats are high as well. Especially since I fixed the bolster. I think in all probability the easiest way is going to be to cut the front legs down a bit to be honest.

Dont think you can change the sub frames on standard seats - only on Recaro's.

I think you need the full base... But don't hold me to that...

yes the seats have the adjustor for height but the seat is so bloody uncomfortable with it as low as it will go.going to look for a corrado or early polo in the scrappy so i can have the seat bases to use.
have been looking for recaro interior but like rocking horse poo
