heres your answer, and it came from an 04 person....so its user error

 

OK, first off...these are EVO 8 Recaros right? Then if they are no one else has ever mentioned them not being a direct bolt-on. Sorry for your miss future.

Maybe post some pictures while trying to install the seats and we came see what you're talking about...

 

ok so yea ... i found out that the railing was bent more badly than i thought...we figured that if we bent it back it would have fit, but thats not gonna happen... and the driver side didnt come with bracket holes to bolt on ... so i am wondering if i can just buy the stock rails off of the stealership ... or do i now have to fork out extra cash for brackets and sliders

 

here, end this pain and sell them to me. then i'll figure it out and post it up.

 

^^^^^ lol...

 

uhm no thanks ... but yea i went to the dealer its 114 bucks per freakin slider and bracket !!!!! thats like almost 500 bucks ... screw that ... and i called RMR and they said their bracket wont work ... i now found a place called speed factory and they sell brackets and sliders that will work and its around 260 so i think im just gonna have to go that route ... thanks everyone for your input

 

i know dont take it seriously i was jokin around. good luck with the seats. i just found a deal on some and i really want them. let us know how it goes.

 

Why doesnt this dude just hit up the "How-To" section, theres a peice there on how to install seats without having to pay extra for sliders...

Thats me y'see, and now Im a bit disgruntled

Hold on... *adjusts jock

..."wheres my sign?"


<----There, I did it for you FUC*ER's!!!

 

ok so ive finally got the damn seats installed and my lesson is ... DONT BUY EVO SEATS THAT WERE IN A CRASH !!!! first off the brackets took forever to come in because they were backordered ... then the stock evo seat slider bar is riveted on to a metal piece thats welded on to the seat... the metal pieces had to be sawed off to fit the aftermarket sliders ... then the sliders holes did not match up so i had to drill ... then they were finally installed ... although total spent >$500 ... which is the cost of like one seat if your lucky

O yea and these seats kick *** ... every turn im sitting straight and the brackets give the low stance ... kick *** worth the long wait for installation ... LONG WAIT

 

Just get the rails...I had to ghetto rig a Recaro SP-G full bucket in my hachi. I had to remove the rails from the original seat and then weld, and grind and weld and grind until the rail fit cleanly onto the seat brackets. It was a pain, but worked. I suggest just getting the rails. Too much work.

 

uhhhhhhm i said that i got them on already
