    Are all the seat subframes for the mk2 exactly the same? I assume the runners and locking mech are but i thought i'd check first.

    I'm tempted to try hacking some standard frames about rather than forking out for the pricey tailored versions in the hope of getting my buckets a bit lower-the car is a '91 so are there any other frames that might fit in order to make my search easier.

    thanks

    All the same!

    MK1 Golf, Scirocco, Polo of similar vintage and Corrado will also fit :)

    ahhh, thats good to know, thanks :thumbup:

    Would the corrado ones be lower by chance? I often hear that putting corrado seats into a mk2 gives you a lower seating position but is this down to the seats themselves or the frames?

    i think a trip to the scrappy is in order once i've checked some widths between the new seats and my existing frames

    Mk1 Rocco don't fit in a Mk2 Golf without minor mods. Mk2 are fine though.

    The handles pre and post '90 spec are in different places, but they'll swap across cars ok.
