if i had to guess i would say that any other recaro seat is a bolt on. you can also buy any other aftermarket seat ansd just buy the brackets and sliders for the car.

Any recaro seat will bolt right in. The only issue is where to mount the seat belt anchor.

Question What?

What kind of improvement are you looking for in an aftermarket seat. What do you think the Recaros are missing?

I'd spend money on ANYTHING else, except the brakes.

Here's my Sparco Pro 2000! I loved the stock Recaro, but needed to upgrade for two reasons. 1) I'm 6'5" and couldn't fit in the car while wearing a helmet (besides the fact that a lowered seat gives a better driving position) 2) The stock Recaro's are great for the street, but are for **** at the racetrack, as are ANY reclineable seat. And, yes, I've used Bride reclineables which are MUCH more supportive than our stockers, but still flex like a mother during hard cornering. Only one negative is that the Sparco absolutely sucks on long drives to the track...my legs start to get a little numb after 2 hours, and I need to get out of the car to stretch a little. I won't go back though...fixed back is the way to go for sure if your primary interest for your EVO is road course and canyon driving.

Aerospeed seats will fit too. They are "rebadged" recaros.

If you're going for the look, buy some FQ300 seats. They're only like 1600 a piece
