hate to say it, but they are not authentic... these are authentic seats. I like the ones ROCK put up as well, but I was looking at some pics and doing some research, shows that its not the wisest decision to go(personally)

These seats look pretty good...

those are recardo type seats, they are not exact but they look nice and they are made by nice brands.

I like those farrari style seats! does anyone know who makes the square style steering wheel? I have long legs and I hate how the steering wheel touches my legs, and I barely use the cruise control, so i'm thinking that the bottom square steering wheel will be a boost in driveability.

you would really want to sacrifice a little bit of drivability for an air bag?

My 06 came with the side airbags. I'm not sure if it was an option - this Ralliart was on the lot nice rims and was the color I wanted with all of the options I actually wanted so I bought it =) The seats in my Ralliart are the nicest/most comfortable for a long trip than I've ever had in any vehicle I've owned before so I am not complaining.

I've driven for 5~8 hours solid in the ralliart without getting a back/rear ache where as a couple hours was the limit in my other vehicles. They have enough "bolster" to hold me in the seat.

I think that for either 05 or 06 the government was going to make side airbags mandatory on all cars. Can anyone verify??

Ohh and BTW, my 04 doesnt have side airbags nor cruise control, in Puerto Rico the dealers didnt want to ship´em with sunroofs, cruise control, and not sure if side air bags until the 06 models came in.

I have a 05 Evo RS that has Recaros. What kind of seats do the Rallyart's have? Do they have levers on the side that adjust the seatback tilt? The Recaros have a knob that you have to turn in order to adjust.

Could someone post a picture of the reclining seat (w/ out an airbag)? If they look good, I would be interested in swapping out my front and rear seats for Rallyarts.

Thanks.

Yes, the seatback is adjusted by a lever, the seat height is adjusted by a knob. I believe theyre the same seat as the JDM Evo GTA. The difference between the 04-05 and the 06 is the fabric, the former is black/red inserts (kinda) and the 06 is black

Well I've done some research here in Japan and they would cost an arm and a leg to get! They haven't given me an exact quote yet, but they told me roughly around 120,000 Yen, which runs out to be about $1,200, give or take for the exchange rate...

Well it looks like I'm hopefully getting a set of these seats for my car... I found a Japanese junk yard here with a few totalled Ralliarts and they had the seats still in them... Sat in them, I think they were very comfy... Definately worth it IMO... Plus since they're coming from a junk yard, cheap prices are a great thing...
