$15 for custom cushions?
i love my evo x but the only problem is the fact that the ride height is set, which isnt adjustable. the height is perfect for me but for my wife (cant even see with the current height). Making the rails higher will be good for her but not for me. the sti on the other hand has adjustable seats.
what should i do ??

Before i bought my evo i test drove a 2006 STi and i was not impressed by all means... i loved the interior as well as the sound of the engine but it's performance was lacking to me for some reason.
Fast forward to last night when my friend purchased a new STi a few weeks ago. The hatch has always caught my attention and i for one think it looks like an awesome car. I took it around for a spirited drive and man was i impressed. The car pulled strong and it was stock. Love the sound, interior as well as the performance. It was no where near what i remember with the 06 I drove before purchasing my evo. I was very impressed with this car... much more impressive than a stock 2010 Evo X i drove a few weeks prior.
The '11 STI gained a bunch of suspension enhancements that has transformed the model into a more serious contender now. Front solid pillow ball bushings, stiffer springs, thicker antiroll bars and lower ride height go a long way towards correcting the mushy lifeless car of yore.
just my opinion.

If you "REALLY" want to keep you evo, instead of selling it and adding a couple thousand $$ to get the sti, why dont you use a couple hundred and get custom rails built so the seat adjusts up/down 
But like others have posted, adding a few washers or a pillow for her to sit on is very simple, very effective and costs nothing.
gl with watever you do
