One more note these seats sit approximately 2.5 inches higher than stock. I'm 6.2 and I have about 3 inches from the top of my head to the headliner. Very comfortable!

Yes, both Seatbelt sensors, drivers track sensor and Passenger Airbag sensor work. These FR seats are not powered and do not come with seat heaters, coolers, or lumbar support.

Great write up. thanks for posting.

quick clarification: so when your stock seats were lowered all the way to the bottom and same for these FR seats, these new FR seats have you sitting 2.5" higher in the car?

I find the stock seats terribly uncomfortable. This write up shows this is a great way to go... except i'm 6'4" and I have my seat lowered all the way. 2.5" higher up sounds like a lot. I hate that feeling of my head rubbing the headliner and looking out the top of the windshield

Great! At least now I know I can bolt 2016 front seats into a S197 without welding! I have also seen a write up on putting the back seats in too. Have you found any write ups on wiring the power functions and heated and cooled for the 2015 in the s197? Thanks

Are your side airbags hooked up

Hi Thanks for this write up. I have been using it as a guide for my 2015 recaro swap into my 2012. Big question though? Are you sure the yellow clip is not used? On my car, the yellow clip is the side impact airbag. How are your airbags powered? On my 2012, the airbag is a 2 wire system. On the 2015 it is a 5 wire system. I even tried swapping the modules but the mounting points and shapes are different. Everything else I can work around... but I'm really not sure how to tackle this one.
