Interesting note...

'No wonder Mitsubishi's new Lancer Evolution, based on long-running rally cars overseas, comes with Recaro racing seats. There was one adjustment, though. According to Mitsubishi spokesman Richard Kelley, the Recaro seats in the Evos sold in the States are a couple inches wider than those overseas—the better to accommodate American drivers who tend to be larger in girth than those in Mitsubishi's home country of Japan.'

to the fat(ter) American drivers! I heard we are the Donut capital of the world also! Rollover, Atkins!

 

Yep! We american love to eat and sit and sit and eat.

 

but the JDM seats are soooo nice

 

yeh, they are nice. but less leg room

 

all we do is eat, sh*t & sleep.

 

i still think if mitsubishi give the user consumer a choice of jdm seat or the us seat upon purchase would be nice cuz there are some girls drive this car and not all western folks are big i'm 6' and 180 and i do slip aorund in the us seat a bit

 

I like the xtra room for my nuts.

 

try being 5'8" and 110 lbs, I slip around in our Sparco 2000 race seats in our S2000....JDM seats would probably fit me A LOT better....plus US Mitsu is crazy, people THAT big shouldn't be driving the Evo, they might break the 856lb limit...I think the black side parts should just be bigger and slightly stiffer

Edit:: Aren't the Euro seats kinda in-between?

 

Dude your 110 lbs alot of seats are going to be big on you. Check the Bride seats they should be jdm spec.

 

We're fat, I love it. I think we're not just "fatter", but we tend to be bigger overall...but yea, we're a pretty fat people. I'm highly entertained.

 

"i'm Not Fat, I'm Big Boned!"

 

well, mine fit almost perfect
just want a little more thigh support

 

i slid a little when i first got my evo in october. thanksgiving and xmas has solved that problem.

 

im 5'9", a little over 160 and i think they fit perfectly. Try different seat positions it makes a difference depending on how you sit (im sure you guys know that, it just might not have occured to you). It's weird, no girls have complained about slipping around much and i have the leather seats, they aren't smaller are they?
