Evo Seats in Ford Explorer
I put some new solid black Recaro Speed seats into my 05 EVO because I had enough of the blue inserts and wanted something with more support.

I had Stock EVO recaros + Ford Explorer tow vehicle + spare time = you decide (I love it)

I used all of the Ford stock brackets and the drivers is still full power

See pictures below:

Why not have good seats in his exploder? The Evo seats are MUCH better on a long trip because they support you so well.
