Anyone installed these rear evo seats?

Anyone installed these evo 9 seats in the rear? I know Ive seen the 8's installed but not sure on the 9's... trying to find a pic...

 

I never finished the rear seat install, because I put in 5pt harnesses and I am going to be doing a cage in the very near future. But you can get the picture. In the rear the seats poke up a bit, and you would need to trim the foam to get them to fit well. Just follow the how to and they will fit awesome.

Is it possible to make the Evo seats work with the stock automatic seat belts?

i had cut out the bottom too much on the rears, so it didnt stay in the hole because the holes were cut to big. so I made lil brackets that worked ahaha

Can you take pics to explain what you are talking about? It looks like the top portion of the rear seats will be easy, but the bottom portion where your butt goes will be harder...

Send a PM to VR460MEZ he's got them installed in his car very well.

I saw crankwalks thread on the rear seat and the theboz told me i just need to trim the foam molding very carefully on the bottom rear seat to make it fit right. I will PM him though...

Quoting TheBoz:

Follow my How To and you dont have to trim. The trick was drilling through the fender well and using a stainless bolt and washer to pull it flush.

Jay! I knew you would chime in here. I think he was talking about the rear seats where your butt goes. Is that what you were talking about or were you thinking of the top portion of the rear seat? That seems to be the idea with the top part but the rear part looks like the only way it will fit right is to cut some foam.

I will post my results when im done!

 

Are the 8 and 9 rears different shapes? I wallowed out the grooves in the cars metal where the bench slides in and then everything just dropped in.

Wallowed out what grooves in the cars metal? You talking about the big hump in this picture?

 

^Yeah iirc there were metal tabs on the bottom of the evo bench and the metal on the actually car was a little off center to those holes so I widened them and it was still a snug fit.

This was over 2 years ago so its kinda fuzzy
