Have anyone tried 4 point harness on the JCW Recaro seats? Possible to mount the harness to it?

 

Do you have the JCW seats? I was told by my dealer that they were not available in the USA. Others have heard the same, so there proabably aren't many, if any, people who have them in the USA.

 

Oh I see, no wonder no response.. hahaha.. Thank You..

Yeah, I have them on my mini. The alcantara JCW Recaro, so will like to know more on the harness..

 

Go for the Schroth system. This is the only 4-point system you should ever consider for the MINI. It has the anti-submarine system.

 

Yes it is possible, i have fitted a harness to my R56 JCW/Recaro's.

 

dang you non-americans and your fancy recaros!!! im so jealous!!


post some pix up PLEASE!!

 

Here's a couple of pics;

 

those look pretty awesome... are they the same for the r56? and do they have airbags?

 

Yes & no.

 

From what I know, OEM seats for R53 is by Sparco. OEM for R56 is by Recaro which comes with airbags. 2 choice of upholstery, leather and mine alcantara. My mini is not with me at the moment, will post some pics soon.

 

cool, looking forward to the pix... Why cant the be options in the US? Do the seats have the airbag sensor in the seats?

 

No airbags ......thus no US

 

That is correct, the R53 JCW seats are Sparco Demon/Milano.
The R56 JCW seats are Recaro Sportster CS.
Mine don't have the airbags because i bought them from Recaro as the same seat from MINI is twice the price.
I fitted the R56 JCW/Recaro' to my R53 because i am not a fan of the R53 JCW/Sparcos.

 

i thought they JCW recaros did come with airbags... hence the super inflated price.

 

The factory R53 JCW/Sparcos have no airbags.
The factory R56 JCW/Recaros do have airbags but don't have the weight sensor in the passenger seat required in the US, which i believe is the reason you are not getting them.

 

WHAT?? screw the passenger! haha i usually drive by myself anyway. Im assuming the weight sensor is so that if the person is underweight, the airbag wont deploy... well i only drive around full sized people... (no kids)

 

This is what i have... Spacro EVO with 4/6 point harness.

 

That's Cool.. I didn't go for bucket coz I want both seats the same and the entry to the back.
