One side of my seat comes apart, but nothing major.

My right lower back support broke, no idea how. I don't even drive the car that much. The recaro seats are great but having the seat break in a new car sucks.

I had the same problem the first day I bought my Evo. I just flipped the plastic holder inward and snapped it right in and it hasnt come undone since.

That is all that I did the left side of my drivers seat came undone all you have to do is flip it back up and lock it in.

Mine used to squeek while going into first gear, but that was because I was too tensed up. So far so good since then.

The right side(the side next to the center console)on the seat back broke on my driver seat. I heard a crack when I was leaning over so I could get my wallet out of my back pocket, after that I noticed I didn't feel as much support on that side of the seat and it would wiggle.
