Aftermarket Seats, Recaro, Bride, Sparco?
OK, ok..
I did the whole search..I only see people swapping out EVO X seats, but no complete answer about which rails/sliders to use.
What seat rails do I need to fit "aftermarket" seats in this car?
Do aftermarket EVOX rails fit? Or do i use OEM EVO X rails?
Any help is appreciated.
PS,
the stock RA seats are crappy. Just did a 600 mile drive, my back is killing me. Out of all the cars I have taken this trip in, these seats killed me.

^^ lol agreed the oem RA seats sucks in long drive my back also kills me during long drive, but imagine more the racing seats will do to your back not only that, your butt and neck will hurt too..Racing seats are made to hold you during hard cornering and keep you in place with those high bolster... I really doubt it will be comfortable in long drive... But i want a bride racing seats though

ouch. lancer seats.
i have the recaro package and i find the head rest too straight. i have to lean the seat back just to get the head rest right for me.
when i was at SEMA i really liked the Status seats. Bride low max are nice too. all seats are made differently to fit different people, so you need to try out a few first.

Don't you just replace the rails? I've ordered some seats that comes with rails and I hope there's not much of a hazzle. I just need to know how to disconnect the airbags and heater and there's probably some thread here about it (havn't searced yet).
I bought some on a sale clearance cheap (Two sport seats for ~300$). Not real leather but w/e. If they suck I'll just make office chairs out of em and use them at home

I did some research. Sliders are not a problem.
But I need brackets.
Wedge Engineering does not even have an app for the Sportback, but I am sure they are the same as LANCER EVO X or LANCER 09+ Ralliart. not sure which one.

A problem has arrised for me, excluding all the wire stuff that needs to be done.
As I said I ordered some cheap seats and there's no where to attach the part where to you clip the seatbelts (sorry for my english).
So I have got some resistors to fool the car about the seat airbags but I can't attach my seatbelt to anywhere as it is right now.
Any ideas about this are appreciated. If I can't get it installed properly I'll just sell em and get some proper ones later on.

You should attache the seat belt thing to you bracket..
at least that how I see most ppl do it..
search around EvoX forums ... alot of owner replaced their Recaro with lighter Bride/Recaros... the brackets (which are ordered separately) should be model-specific and has a place for the seat belt ..

any seat rails specifically made for Evo X should work for RA, or any lancers for that matter. The only thing you need to worry about is if the rails has the width to commadate seats you get, assuming you are mix and matching seats and seat rail brands. I know bride works.
