Passanger seat shakes on IX

Anyone notice how bad the passanger seat on an evo shakes? Both my car and my bros MR's seats shake bad. Almost like they are missing some bolts holding them to the chassis. Just something ive noticed. Anyone else experience this?

Yep, mine does too. But I do have a DP + catback which adds vibrations to the cabin

The passenger seat on my 8 shook from the day that I bought the car and only got worse with time...Mitsu eventually diagnosed it as one of the rail bolts being too loose (duh). But, the bolt was installed with threadlock from the factory so we couldn't tighten it. They ordered a new rail assembly and it's been solid ever since (about 15k miles). There are other owners who've had the problem fixed. Good luck!

I know, but this is the first car ive had that has done this. Its no big deal but im seeing who else has the shake. I see theres others with the same thing. Not really a problem just an observation. Must be the fact that the seats are very light weight relative to other cars with power this and heated that. I like light!
