Seriously though,to be legal they need to have ADR certification.
Seats
Owners should ensure that the seat and its anchorages comply with any applicable ADR requirements (possibly by
cer tification from the seat manufacturer or by an engineering signatory) and the appropriate seat belts are fitted to
all seating positions.
Vehicle Standards Bulletin No. 5 issued by DOTARS covers requirements for the manufacture of additional seats.
Police can fine you for anything they like. But as long as your rails are adr complianced and the seats are also adr complianced, no modifications had to be made to them at all then they are legal. Basically the only good brand that is adr is recaro

Wrong.
If it didn't come in the car from factory than it is illegal.

Period.
No. If they come from a car with same chassis ie ss seats in standard commo it's legal. As long as no modification has to be made to fit them. Like super jdm said they will dick you for anything they want to even if it is legal. Only way around this is an engineers certificate which proves legality of your mod (although you shouldn't need one for recaros). I know definitely dc2 recaros in eg is fine. In an ek maybe not as the basic chassis is different.
Wrong, my friend got defected with recaros in his eg. everything is that not from factory = defect, unless u can prove to the cops urs is an import which recaros came with the car stock factory, or else its a defect! it is not about the rails, they defect you for a reason, scared that ur bolts might come off when u crash or its not torque-ed to the australian standard. Its for safety reasons. If u want to mod, you dont really care about defect anyway
get a mod plate and they wont hassle you about it simple as that.
I got defected for too low and wheels out of guards, he asked about fixed back and stripped rear interior and showed him mod plate/cert for 2 seater and fixed back and he said thanks for doing the right thing and left it at that
"Wheels are like bosoms to men, and cars have four of them"
You are all so dumb. I stated already that just because a cop defects you for it doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. An engineers certificate deems it structurally safe and installed correctly and to australian standards. By your logic if I install my own spark plugs and don't torque them down properly that's a defect too. Worst case scenario even with an engineers cert you can fight in court, it's a legal document also signed by Vicroads. Just because you know someone who got defected with recaros doesn't mean it's illegal
