i guess if you want decent looking for lower cost there are allways APC seats. www.racerwheel.com sells them i think as well as many other sites. Or you could allways save your cash for a while and buy some of sparcos cheaper seats. awsome looking and great quality.

I absolutely loved my Corbeau CR1 seats. Could drive for hours and not get fatigured or numb butt, and I could get a wide version for the passenger side! They are fairly economical yet safe and very comfortable. Also, I hear the Cobra seats are affordable. Both of those brands are used by professional racers all over the world, but aren't as pricey as... say... Sparco, Recaro, or Momo.

And I see someone is looking at redoing his interior, eh? Got a lot of posts regarding interior parts have fun!

^ That works. Front seats go right in, and the rears can go in with some slight cutting.

I don't remember, a fellow SCLC member bought fronts and rears, and the backs didn't snap perfectly in place. I think the Lancer has the 60/40 folding rear seat while the Evo does not, so the fastening locations are slightly different. I wish I could remember his forums name, if it comes to me I'll let you know.

If you have an ES shouldn't they snap right in since we don't have the split rear seat? More on topic though don't half *** it, if you want new seats, get them from a professional company like sparco, corbeau, bride, recaro, momo, cobra, etc. not APC or some other Canadian Tire special company.
