I think the guy's just asking about the head support, not saying he doesn't like the Recaros.
Anyway there are loads of accessories for Recaro seats, whether or not they fit your evo seats is another matter.
For all it's worth, the lack of head support is more than made up for by the lateral support the seat provides. I find the Recaros more comfortable than seats on luxury cars (Jag, Mercs etc.) yes they are firm, but you can drive really hard for extended periods.
And yes, the head 'rest' on the seat is tilted back to allow the driver to wear a helmet.

I have a set of "Recaro" pillows for city driving and they do the job.

I was just stating that i noticed the seats didn't really support you head and every genius in here thinks i don't know they are racing seats.
I'm telling you, these people. And most of these brainiac's don't even own a damn evo.

This isn't meant to be a flame but this is proof positive of why we don't get the pure performance versions of cars offered elsewhere in the world. Americans are a bunch whiners. "Oh it's not comfortable enough!" Its a damn performance car!

well first off their head restraints not head rests there made to protect your head from whip lash, not relax your head on as for the holes in the seat their supposedly for air flow according to Mitsu, dunno if a 4 point harness could hook up to it.
And if you want your head to rest against the seat you should adjust your seat so its not so reclined because it seems your leaning towards the wheel, my seats almost a right angle and still comfy and my head sits against the back. Theres a twisty lever on side of the recaro to adjust it, gotta be strong to do it tho lol.
