So this has been my latest project, got these locally and have wanted the X seats in my evo soo badly, as a daily they feel more supportive and more comfortable although this could be because they are a newer generation of Recaro seats, when I undertook this endeavor I was told that the brackets would unbolt from the evo 8 seats and bolt into the X sliders which was FALSE! the passenger side of the X seats has bolts that ate attached to electrical conductors that can be used but will raise the passenger seat height till it is about 2-3in from brushing the ceiling. (for reference my 6ft 2in friend with his hair spiked has it rub the roof). However the driver side uses presses that mount the brackets. These took me approximately 3 afternoons using a cutting wheel on a grinder, a drill with a titanium drill bit to cut through steel and a lot of measuring. I will do a more detailed write up soon but I couldn't be happier with the results, the brackets will be welded to the rails this week since as of now they are bolted and still solid. As you can see the fitment is perfect the center console has clearance on both sides.

Cheers

Everything looks good! Look forward to seeing a write up

 

I will let you know once it's up sir.

 

YES! I will be doing this exact thing in the near future. Please post the writeup with as many pictures as possible!

 

Haha will you be using a welder right off the bat?

 

nice. I like the cloth Evo X seats. Not much for Leather. Good effort. Looking forward to write up.

 

wow looks real good!!

 

I was wondering what it would take to do this. It looks great. Now maybe some saddle soap.

 

Haha yeah they are in desperate need of a good cleaning!

 

That looks good nice job!
