Question Mitsu Evo Recaro Seats

I've been looking at seats for a while now and have seen some from Mitsu Evo's sell on E-bay that I'm interested in. I like the cloth color; the blue matches my interior really well.



Does anyone know what model Recaro seat this is? Wondering if it would mount easily and fit well. Also, any idea how much this seat would weigh?

Thanks, Gordo

I thought about this modification to my 911 but the "show stopper" was that they do not recline. You're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

They do recline and those Recaros are more comfortable than the seats in the STi - go for it!

Those are Recaro "Sport Sportline" OEM seats made for Mitsubitshi EVO 8's. The upper section is the same as the aftermarket sportlines, but the bottom has less thigh support. Colors are the blue, black fabric and for 2005 a black leather is available. They will fit any car with the proper recaro bracket.

Someone is always selling a set. Going rate is $500.00 to 1000.00 a pair- depending on condition!

Yes they do recline!

unless they`re the Euro/JDM seats they`re huge.The US market seats are a lot wider to accomodate the american asses(masses).l had a set and sold them off because they had little support for track use.They`re okay,l`m not totally knocking them but they`re designed for the street and you can really tell.For big people they`ed be pretty good though.
