Racing Seats
I want to get some racing seats for the driver and passenger. However, I don't want to replace the back seat to match the new racing seats. Does anyone know where I could get a pair of seats that match the back seats?
Also, do I need any type of bracket to install the racing seats?
And what kind of racing seats do you guys recommend?

First of all, what is your ride? Evo or any other Lancer other than?
Only fools changed their evo's stock front seats (recaro, they are the best and the most expensive), however for any other regular lancer, you need the bracket and the fitting and proper mounting to install the seat(s) to match the stock seats pattern, even though that most seat claimed to have a 'universal' bracket since every car is unique.
Good luck.

You won't find anything that matches your interior perfectly, but you could do any of the following:
- Evo seats match the pattern, but not the color
- Reupholster both the new fronts and the old rears.
- Find something that looks relatively close (nobody even notices the difference in my Corbeaus)
on a side note, while the Evo Recaros are nice, I respect any man who replaces them with a true racing seat... as long as he puts it to good use.
