Where to buy EVO IX seats

Where is the best place to buy evo IX seats (non leather) and roughly what price do they go for?

Oh and BTW, I DID search, but couldn't find an answer.

Also tried call my dealership but they needed an Evo IX VIN number to tell me.

Go on Ebay and find a Evo IX for sale. In the sale ad they are required to give a VIN number, problem solved, there you go.

The Dealership is lying to you...My dealer looked up a IX bumper for me without a VIN...He asked for one, but I said I didnt have one. They are just lazy. Tell them the Engine Code. CT9A and they should be able to pull it up. I have seen them do it that way.

I don't know how hard it would be but if it was me I would try to get some JDM Evolution VII, VIII, or IX seats. Much more thigh support than the ones the rest of the world get.

Anyone know where to find these then, or how hard they are to come across.

I know I'm not the only one here who wants this question answered.

Do some searching that is how you find the stuff that you want, I am sorry but dont feel like doing the searching for you, and i have never heard of the dealership not being able to look up some seats without the VIN you must have lazy parts guys.

Found some JDM EVO 7 seat but they are $3,500 for the front set. found them on JapanParts.com if anyone is interested.
Personally seems a little high.
Will call my dealership monday about a price.

From my guess, I would think it would be better for you to get Recaro or Sparco seat instead of buying from Mitsubishi and their IX's seats.

Yeah, try this site... http://on-trackperformance.com/recaro_sport.htm

Seem to have numerous variations of the Recaro Sports available. You could probably custom order the fabric combination. Hope that helps.
