base on the interior the seat doesnt' look very agressive to me
are these really rec seat?

 

The rear seats appear to be just a standard bench seat. Doesn't bother me.

 

the front seating doesn't look that good eitehr in the pic

 

Well at least they are better than leather seats... I hate leather seats!

 

They couldn't make them too tight for the American market. I've said it before, Americans are the fattest people in the world (fact!)

But you can probably yank those out, sell them to somebody with a regular lancer, and buy a new set of either Sparco's or Recarro's.

 

good idea i'll prolly call ei to get a j spec seat

 

I wonder if Recaro would let us trade the seats that come with the car with another set of their seats. That would be a good idea as long as the color's matched up.

 

i hope they dont make the seats too large

 

The seats from the interior pic posted by Fireball have the same knit pattern and shape as the standard Lancer seats but with a coloring in them (blue'ish I'd wager).

 

I had the opportunity of a lifetime last year at the Chicago Auto Show. As a Mitsu salesman, I am invited to work at the show each year to find new prospects and field questions on our products. Last year we had a RH drive Euro-spec Evo VII on display. After the show, I was allowed to sit in the car and check everything out...which included starting and revving up the car. The seats are awesome, the side bolsters for your hips and torso are extremly aggressive. The reclining function is a wheel instead of a lever, and it provides micro-adjustment. They are VERY tight. I am 5'9", 145 lbs. and anyone bigger than me WILL have a tough time getting in or out of the car. As far as the pattern, it is a black/blue combo comprised of different sized triangles.

 

The Recaro seats for the USDM version of the Evo8 are engineered for "larger" Americans. I know someone who sat in a production 8 who is not a tiny guy and he fit.

 

yeah..so how some way..everything gets screwed up trying to make it acustom to fit everyones needs. sucks

 

I for one am glad they are a little bigger... the fact (as pointed out before) is that American's on average are bigger then most people (that is sometimes good, sometimes bad) and I hope they account for that! I like high bolsterd seat, but at 5'11" 230 lbs, a tiny seat just won't fit my frame, and trying to squeeze into a seat that is too small for you just sucks!

 

I'm 6'4" 210 so I am glad they're going to be larger seats. I don't care if the seats are larger overall, as long as they would still have side bolsters. something tells me that they won't though if they're the same as stock lancer seats. oh well. i'll have to get ganked by sparco for $1500

 

would be nice if that was 1 of the options "what size seats"

oh well I hope they have same colors as the jspec seats might just have to order a drivers side seat to fit me i guess
