Looking for some answers

I have a few questions about the Ralliart 04-06, I was wondering what the difference are between the oz seats and ralliart, I know the ralliart seats are red and have a different head rest but is that the only difference ? also I am looking for some eyelids but it seems road race does not make them anymore, any other companies out there have any? thanks for the help !

the Ralliart seats are the same as the JDM Lancer Evolution vii GT-A, a base model Evo without the recaro interior and vented hood, with a non-evo spoiler...The bolsters are larger, and the seat sits lower to the floor.

That's what I was wanting to know thanks, I hate my oz seats so much they are truly the worst seat I have ever had in a vehicle, they are hard suck for long trips, no side bolster, head rest are tilted really far forward and they sit really high up.

the ralliart seats are surprisingly comfortable. I never see too many people on this forum switch them out for other seats like the evo recaro seats.

Even after having my Ralliart for 5 years the seats are still as comfortable as the day I got it. Best stock seats I've ever had in a car!

Tell me about it!! the GT-A is to the Evo VII, exactly what the new 09+ ralliart is the the Evo X...i can't say i'm surprised though, as that around the same time they stopped putting turbos and AWD in the eclipse...one can only imagine what they were thinking...subaru got it right in 97, mitsubishi **** the bed...

Well I did it, got the full seat of almost new ralliart seats, so new they have made my car smell like it did when I got it back in 2006.

But ! The seat swap was not easy, back seat went awesome! But the front were a different story, passenger seat was completely different mounting spots and plugs for the srs were not even there....the ralliart seats came from a 2005 ralliart and my car is a 2006, so I have the srs system that detects weight and seat belt for the passenger side. Well what I had to do was completely swap the bottom frames for both the passenger and drivers side. Now that I did that I was able to plug my sensors back in but wow I was not thinking and now have the srs light on because I didn't unplug my battery...

I will post some pics up soon, the ralliart seats are so much better in every way. I sit alittle lower, they look bettrr, and they have a lot more support !
