Any way to adjust seat cushion angle?

For me the seat would be more comfortable if it didn't slope down so much at the back. Is there any way to adjust this?

I did a search and didn't find an answer in the first 28 pages of results.

Recaro seats tend to leave any seat base height/tilt adjustment for the mounts. The EVOs don't have any. Just fore and aft.

I was initially unimpressed with the EVO's low end Recaro "Sport" seats, compared to the fully adjustable and leather trimmed (optional) seats in my Celica GT-Four. Even the high end Ergomed DS seats from Recaro noted that the seat base adjustments required the optional mounting kit. Recaro doesn't list much information on their web site about their mounting kits -- a dealer may have more info. I don't know that Recaro would have much in the way of non-stock mounts for the EVO8, yet.

You might want to search the web for third party mounting kits for Recaros. There are a number of "custom" mounting kits, mostly designed for the racing market, with a variety of adjustment options.

I've gotten more used to the stock seats, over time. But I still miss the power side bolster and lumbar adjustments from the Toy. I guess I'm getting old.

the evo's recaro's blow. like DGS said check out some other form of mouting brackets, or get some real recaro's or bride's.

(i had recaro srd's in my prelude, so forgive me if everyone else loves these seats)
