RX7 Reclining Seats And Brackets Fitment guide
Are you planning to install some aftermarket sports seats into your Mazda RX7? This is a definitive guide on what is suitable and what to avoid when it comes to picking seats to fit inside the RX7. From experience with previous customers, we have found that seats with a short back design will only work with this car, the Mazda RX7 has a small cockpit and limits what you can fit inside. The images below show the struggle of trying to fit a reclining sports seat inside the RX7, they used a Planted Technology base frame that has one of the lowest profiles on the market yet the seat still doesnt fit. We recommend only fitting fixed back bucket seats that feature a short back to install into this car, reclining sports seats are near impossible to fit successfully as they all share the same high back design.Â
Our Bucket Seat Recommendations...
We have a range of bucket seats that we know will fit into the Mazda RX7 perfectly, seats that are short enough to avoid hitting the roof and narrow to stop any contact with your doors. We recommended steel frame bucket seats as they all feature a low and narrow shape that works well with vehicles with restricted cockpits like the RX7. All versions of the Cobra Monaco Sport seat are perfect for track days and fast road use, the rest of the bucket seat recommendations all feature the latest FIA approvals, allowing them to be used in all motorsport events.Â

You can pair these Planted Technology base frames with a sliding runner to allow you to create the perfect driving position. The Sparco sliding runner is suitable for the Sparco and OMP seats we recommended above, and the Cobra slider is for the Cobra seats only. We only recommended steel frame bucket seats above, steel frame seats feature both base and side mount bolt points making side mounts optional and not a requirement for your installation process. Our multi point side mounts work perfectly with all our steel frame seat recommendations, its high number of bolting points create a more accurate fitting position and tilt of the seat.Â
