Default Seat Bracket

Hi guys,

I have finally found a seat bracket for the drivers side of the 2011+ tc, has anyone used them on a pair of racing seats cause i really dont like the desgin on the stock seats.

Thanks

That's a universal seat bracket, it will take some modification to make it work with your stock brackets

^^^ What he said. I had my hands on a set of Sparco Chrono Roads, but couldn't find anyone local to make the brackets. Wedge Engineering out in California makes brackets for all sorts of cars, so if you can get someone in CA to go in for test fitting...

You still can. Get someone like KidJustin in CA to go get test fitting. He'll jump on anything.

Or just get some clazzios and enjoy the $700 you saved! Not to mention your front and rear seats will match with clazzios, and they wont with new front seats

ive got seats left over from my first car that fit the colour scheme that i want to do. so the clazzios would be an added cost. although i must admitt that they look fresh as hell!

They are probably more crappy than you know lol. You would have probably installed them and when you sat on it they probably would collapsed. Just lookin out for the fellow scions .

Sparco making the brackets? I've been trying to get Status Racing to make the brackets, but they don't seem to be in much of a hurry.

Wedge Engineering makes the brackets for Sparco. As far as I know they don't have a tc2 application yet. However you can get the universal and try fitting that.

You could always make them yourself. I bought racing seats and the supposedly "made to fit my car" brackets did not fit. I ended up making them out of stainless strip steal (thick stuff) and one of friends happens to be a welder, so she treated the brackets and welded them up for me and now i have great custom seat brackets. It took a while to get all the geometry just the way I wanted it (and even harder to replicate it to make the other one) but Ill tell you, its worth it and cheaper than having to pay someone to do it
