My Lancer is originally a GL sedan, and so it's got the cheapest seats - pretty useless for track days and general comfort.

Are the factory fitted seats in the CC GSR any better? Or are they just trimmed differently?

Additionally, are the Recaros found in the Evo 1-3 and 4-6 a straight bolt-in unit for a CC GL sedan? Or are there modifications required?

Cheers!

Straight bolt in with the Evo 1-6 seats mate. I think the gsr is slightly a bit better seat but if you do track days you'll want the recaro. You can't feel how the car is behaving properly in the corners when your sliding all over the place inside the car. I even thought this on a spirited windy road drive in the standard gsr seat.

Important thing to remember is:
* Normal CC Lancer and GSR Lancer turbo seat bases are stepped.
* EVO I-VI Recaro seat bases are flat.
* You need the appropriate seat rails to fit whichever seats you are using.

* GSR Lancer seats will bolt onto GL and GLXi Lancer seat rails so that's OK.
* You cant fit EVO I-VI seats in a CC Lancer unless you use the OEM Recaro seat rails that came with the EVO seats.
* An alternative is to look for Proton GTi Satria or a Proton M21 coupe seats and seat rails as they bolt straight into Lancers. They are the same as EVO 1 Recaro seats just trimmed differently.
* Or again, if you find EVO seats but cannot find Recaro rails, you can use the Proton GTi or M21 seat rails to put onto the EVO seats and fit them to your Lancer.

just to clarify, could I use the rails from my existing standard seats on the evo recaros? or will that not work?

No...you need Recaro rails for Recaro seats..as Rob already posted above.

I bought some aftermarket rails through a mate at Autobarn from memory that I mounted my bride seats with. Had ADR approval cert and were to fit a multitude Of aftermarket seats including recaro and they were for Evo 1-6 . If you buy some Evo seats chances are they'll come with rails etc. especially if you by them from an auto dissmantlers

i advise looking for the sr2 or sr3 recaros found in the evo 3-6 i beleive they've a much beter seat that the sr-1 found in the evo one or satria gti or m21 (i'm using the sr-1 style seat and while they are a massive improvement over std i find they don't hug and hold as good as they could)

sr3 seats in supra exactly the same?

[leadfoot]

They are very close to being the same there's a slight difference in the back bolster provided you have the right rails you should be able to fit them

Brian if you told me about those seats I would have come to see you lol

In other news I saw a thread on here about evo 4 seats fitting in a gsr. If I do get the seats, will I need evo 4 rails? And will those rails go into gsr?

These are the seats http://item.mobilewe...nid=95677244328

You can use any seat rails from EVO1-6
