Rear Seat Change?

Has anyone tried to change out the back seat of an ES, LS, or OZ for the seat from an Evo VIII? I just found out that the Rear seat of an Evo does not fold down at all. The stock seat in the back of my OZ is a 60/40 split folding seat. I was wondering if any one else had tried this and to see if it worked. I jut want the rear to match the Recaros in the front. Then maybe I will try to get a hold of some interior door panels from an Evo.... Just working my way to an Evo one piece at a time.
L8R, Jay

One guy had an Evo backseat, but he was trying to sell it. I believe it required some fabrication to install and he didn't have the time/patience.

i believe the evo seat is a little wider that our facotyr seats and therfore took fab work to get it to fit


why not just get the rears re upholestered to match the recaros?

i tried to install the evo rear seat on my OZ and it is not just an easy swap. you have to cut off the clips and shove it in there. I havent even got around do doing it, but the front seats fit like a glove.
