Question about Recaro and Brembo

Hi there,

I'm in the UK and I've got money to burn lol!

I'm currently installing Cerious' Shaven trunk and Accolade's Evo 9 rear bumper so I'll have pics for you soon.

Anyhow - I am determined to buy a set of Recaro Sportline seats in leather.

Does anyone know if the Evo 8 brackets will mount to our cars? Do the 04+ lancers have the same mounting points for seat brackets as the Evo 8? As the place I'm buying them from can supply only Evo 8 brackets/sliders as none are made for Lancers.

Secondly - I HAVE seen a photo of an Australian 04+ lancer with Brembo Gran Turismo front brake kit on somewhere - Anyone know where I can get this from?

Thanks for any help!

thst brake kit was probably on a Ralliart and was adapted to fit from another similar application, Evo or Eclipse, since they are the same bolt pattern

It's important to note that if you have a RA with sound and sport, going with the Evo Recaros means you lose the side impact airbags since they are mounted in the seat. There's no way around this, Recaro does not make a seat with side-impact airbags built in. I don't think any racing seat manufctuer does.

Yeah I am prepared to lose the side airbags, as long as it is possible for them to be disconnected.

I am specifically interested in whether the EVO 8 FLOOR brackets mount to the floor of the lancers. As I really want to go for front leather sportline recaros, as my seats have all been wrapped in leather.


As I said - the seller say's he's got Sportline's in leather with EVo 8 brackets/sliders. Question is simple, are the floor mounting points for these brackets the same.

To be honest, because so much of the lancer interior is the same, I wouild guess they do.

He has offered me my money back if they dont so I will probably end up fidning out for myself!

Do the stock Evo 8 seats mount to the ralliart's brackets or is it the Evo 8's brackets on those seats mount to the ralliart's floor?

So is that the Evo 8 brackets fit to our floor mounts? Or the Evo 8 Recaro's fit to our stock Ralliart brackets?

I really need to know which! Thanks

That's what I needed to know thanks! That means that I can get some Leather Recaro Sportlines with Evo 8 brackets and they will then bolt right up.

I had a good look at my floor mounts and then studied photos of an Evo 8's mounts and they appeared to be the same.

Now all I have to find out is whether disconnecting the side airbags causes the SRS light to come on!

I'll let you all know how it goes.
