I don't know if anyone has actually attempted this. Sorry, maybe you can be the first.

They are partnered up with Recaro Usa for this... i love them, quality is excellent, as you would expect. So I stopped listening to people and starting looking at quality of their stuff....

pimp!

Like I said, why pay around $350 for the cheap, Ralli-Art knockoff seats when you can get Recaro seats with a different name stamped on them for $550. It's a $200 difference, and I guarantee it's a 100% difference in quality and comfort. When I do get around to buying new seats, I'm going with the Arospeed GT.

the ralliart seats are made by R-1, but rebadged (illegally) with the ralliart logo.

I've heard a lot of good things about R-1, well compared to the Lancer seat at least.

How much did you get your seats for?

As for these seats compared to the stock seats, I don't know about durability, but I know for certain they are better seats than the stock ones. The stock seats in the Lancer are by far the worst in their class. Every econobox (Sentra, Corolla, Civic, etc) has better seats. These have no support, so getting a set of $350 seats is a good bet for the short run. In the long run however, it would be better to spend the extra money and get some seats that are known to last long.
