I think Evo IX rear seats would be a good match.

Thanks guys, I am happy with the outcome.

They seem to sit the same height...I am thinking about trying to lower the driver seat now actually. It would be nice to have it hunkered down a inch or two if there is clearance.

Yep, next step is to call Recaro today to try and source some material I have to have it match or be very close.

Looking good, but I still think the IX seats look the best.

They look awesome. Hopefully you can get the backs done to match.
The recaros look a lot like my VII seats with the big bolsters that actually hug and hold you in unlike VIII seats.

Thanks guys.

Yes, I will def. get better pictures. It was as night, in a garage so the lighting was horrible.

The seat height is identical to the Evo 8....which as a after thought I should have looked into lowering them. I am still going to look into that actually for the driver side. A 1" or 2" would be nice. If there is clearance, I will probably just cut and modify the brackets I welded on to step them.

I just left a message with Recaro...whose heaedquarters is just a few miles away in Auburn Hills. I will keep eveyone posted with my findings.
