Very informative and it has pics to boot! thank you for the contribution, it will be useful for years to come.

 

It would have had a lot more picture of the "during" process, but my phone decided to eat the 32 gig memory card i had just put in it. So no pictures were saved =/
Ill do my best to maybe get under the seat and take some tomorrow. If anyone ever wants some more details, feel free to ask.

 

I tried to take some photos this morning for everyone

here is one side of the brackets i had to make

and a back side photo

only issue i have with doing this is how it repositions you slightly to toward the door. the stock position keeps your legs center under the wheel.
As you can see from the photo, it moved me about an inch to the left. not awful, but took a minute to get used to

 

Good info.

 

Very cool. Where'd you get your hands on a set of Evo9 seats? Don't see alot of people selling them.

 

I might know where you can find a set.

 

Call me a lucky bastard if you will, but my younger brother owns an evo 9 and swapped in all leather interior. These sat in my parents garage for about 2 years before my dad told him to take em or they were getting tossed, but he had no room to store them. So now they are stored in my car =)

 

Don't mean to be a smart ass but those are evo 8 recaros FYI. I have wanted to get my hands on a set of evo 9 seats for a long time, just can't seem to pull the trigger on 700 dollar seats in my 2g haha. Great info to have nonetheless!

 

You are correct! I was u der there making sure the bolts were still nice and tight (juat being safe) and they are marked evo 8. Odd that they were in an evo 9, but the car certainly wasnt stock when he got it. Sorry for the mistake on that.
