Quick question: does anybody know if evo 7 rear seats can be fitted into CE sedans and/or coupés?

they cannot without custom work, as per first post of this thread, evo1-6/TME fit CC and CE, 7-9 fit CG/CH, and 10's fit CJ

I am looking to change my Recaro seats in my 14 Evo I found a set of 2012 lancer seats with airbags would they bolt in or I would I need to do other mods? thanks in advance I also located a set here for 2008 lancer http://www.automotix.net/usedautoparts/ ... ntory.html

Both being CJ based they would very likely fit without modification.
Obviously you need to make sure you've got all the airbag wiring if that's the reason you want those seats.
Also, I'm not sure where you are, but those seats you've linked are in the states, may not be worth your while getting them shipped to Aus.
 
sorry guys if this been covered before,

looking at buying rear seat off a ce lancer coupe (MR) to fit into my ce mirage,

just wondering will it fit? and folding function still work?

(note: i did the search but couldn't find the straight answers)

cheers
 
I got the proton gti seats for my ce mirage and the only thing that dont match up is the rear bottom half.
 
The rear base for CC chassis seats is wider than CE because CC's have side bolsters which are part of the seat, whereas CE's take up that space with the rear plastics instead. The base itself will bolt in just fine, I've fit a CE rear base to my CC, but the base wasn't wide enough (because bolsters).
 
Matching proton gti seats in my mirage :)

Anyone put Ralliart colt seats into a Ce????
The seats from the RA colt look like Evo 8/9 recaro's and if thats the case should be fairly simple with after market rails.
I've got some Evo7 recaro's i'v been meaning to put in my car but have just been trying to find someone to weld me up something.

Thanks bro appreciate the info
 
Yeeeeees to a degree. Coupe and sedan seats will both bolt in, a mirage base will also bolt in but the mirage rears are 50/50 split and the coupe seats are 60/40 or fixed back pending the model. Also the sides of sedan bases are a bit more narrow but still pop right in. CC and CE bases are also interchangeable although CC's have side bolsters on the rears, whereas CE's just have plastic moulds so they are more narrow. Haven't tried replacing the bolsters with the plastic moulds but I don't recommend it.
 
Anyone know the difference between 1-3 and 4-6 EVO rails? I've got some evo 5 seats but i think i've been sent evo3 rails. from what i can tell the holes are smaller on the early ones..

can anyone confirm?
 
Regardless if the holes are smaller they will still be at the right distance and bolt in perfectly. Unless they aren't actually evo rails.
 
weird because they will bolt into the CE, but have tabs that hit the tunnel just behind where the seatbelt clips are, bolt holes don't line up on either pair of the recaro's that i have, can't find any pics of evo rails alone to check what they should look like.
 
I'm not sure if the rails will mount to the seats themselves, but the rails will be 100% bolt in to the car. May have to fab something up, or are they aftermarket rails?
