Is there a way to put Evo X MR seats in the Ralliart?

I'm set on ordering a Ralliart but I thought I'd see if any of you had been able to order the MR seats and have them installed from the factory or by the dealer. I am in love with the MR Recaro seats. The leather/alcantara looks, feels, and smells so great. Haha, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Maybe you could snag a pair of seats from a Canadian RA....if I'm not mistaken, their Recaro's come in leather instead of fabric.

PLEASE people in the RA forum seriously need to look at the evo x forum and the 2008 + lancer forum. sorry just sick of reading posts in the RA forum about things that have been a problem for the lancer since 2007

Those links will give you pretty much everything you need to know about installing the seats and reconfiguring the airbag. Just don't try to order them from the dealership, your looking at close to $4,000 a seat. People on the forums sell a pair for anywhere from 800-1200 bucks.

^^^ this is true paid 1k for my front seats SHIPPPED from cali to texas

then on my way to cali about a year later this summer i picked up a rear seat from an evo x to match for 150. remember the evo rear seats dont fold down.

also my bad to the OP, i now see what your asking, you dont have a ralliart yet, I would suggest looking into just having all the fabric done in leather, if the RA doesnt come with leather as an option the dealer will either not DO it or charge an arm AND a leg.

canadian ra's come standard with cloth recaros, the premium has the leather. The difference here, is there are no ralliarts that DONT have recaros.. they are the only option

Thanks for the help everyone. That is a good point to remember about the back seats not folding down. I guess it would be easiest to find the bucket seats on here and then have an aftermarket upholstery change done to try and match the back. The seats not folding down in back is my biggest gripe with the evo

Just get the Cloth Recaros and THEN get the new limited Leather package for the Ralliart:

That way you'll keep your stock 60/40 folding seats and have them wrapped in leather
