About to install Evo Recaros in my '06 STI
�
�
Picked them up today, they're from an '05 Evo. Also have a set of sparco brackets to fit the STI. Interestingly enough, the holes on the sparco bracket line up with the mounting holes on the sliders on the recaros, so I won't have to drill any holes like other people have mentioned...
I hope to get them installed in the car tonite once I put my 18 month old daughter to bed.
Pics to come once I've installed them!

Intrested in this install as I want to go to a black interior in my 06. Pics and write up would be good... :banana:

Great seats, it's the only thing the STi is missing. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
| Wannascooby | 10-09-2006 02:37 AM |
PICS! PICS! PICS! I sure wish I could afford to put some nice recaros into my car. Hope you have zero issues. Did you get your 3 ohm resistors from a fellow member on this forum?
Edit: here is the link to the resistors just in case

Yep, I have the resistors sitting on my desk. I need to get some hardware today and maybe some spacers and I'll install them later today. I'll do pics then!

subscribed - like to see some details on your resistor install. I followed other's instructions to the letter and it didn't work.
| CoolRex | 10-09-2006 03:08 PM |
I'm jealous....I love the Evo Recaros.
| DocWyte | 10-09-2006 10:46 PM |
Just got done with the install. Probably a 3 wrencher out of 5 scale just due to the amount of tools you need and the PITA factor.
You need a 3/8" drive socket set with 6 point sockets, a 6mm allen wrench, a drill and drill bits, 3 ohm resistors, electrical tape, dykes, channel locks, torx sockets, hardware, hammer, pry bar/large flat head screwdriver and maybe a cut off wheel.
I bought a set of Recaros from an '05 Evo and picked up a set of Sparco Impreza seat brackets. If you use Wedge brackets you won't need to use spacers. I got the sparco ones cause I found a set used locally for a good price. With the Sparco brackets you don't need to drill any holes, they line up perfectly with the recaro slider rails. Expect to pay anywhere from $500-700 for a set of used cloth Evo recaros.
First start by disconnecting the negative lead off the battery.
Now take a 14mm socket and undue the 4 bolts holding each factory seat in place. Tilt each seat back and disconnect the wiring harnesses. There are 4 on the drivers side mounted to a bracket and (I think) 4 on the passengers side seat.
Lift both seats out of the car carefully and turn them upside down.

You need to remove both seat belt receptacles with harnesses from the stock seats. Use a 14mm socket for these.
Here's a shot showing the harnesses underneath the drivers seat. These are a PITA, you may need to use a small flat head screwdriver to release the clips that hold them in place. That little black plastic module underneath all the yellow harnesses is the '06 seat rail position sensor. If you have an '06, you need that, take it too.
[IMG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/docwyte/IMG_0537_1_1.jpg[/IMG]
Take off both seat belt receptacles, the seat rail sensor from the drivers seat (if you have an '06) and the seat occupancy sensor and module from the passengers seat.
There are two rivets you need to drill out to get the passengers airbag module out. To get the bladder out from the seat, use the channel locks to unclip the harnesses on the back of the seat. Then you can just slide it right out.
This is a shot showing the module and occupancy bladder on the stock seat. You need to use the dykes to cut those two green pegs, they're holding the bladder in place. Drill out the two rivets to release the module.
[IMG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/docwyte/IMG_0540_4_1.jpg[/IMG]
On the recaro, again use the channel locks to remove the hooks from the bottom of the seat, then slide the bladder in underneath the spring bed. Make sure you have the harness where you want it, then reattach the hooks. I ended up moving the module from where it's pictured, it was interfering with the bracket, I ended up ziptieing it to the seat frame directly.
Here's a shot showing the module and bladder installed in the recaro.
[IMG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/docwyte/IMG_0545_8_1.jpg[/IMG]
On the drivers seat, the rail position sensor just needs to be plugged in, I zip tied it towards the rear of the bracket.
I had to space out the bracket from the rails, as the grab handle would hit the bracket otherwise. I used washers and ended up with 9/16" being the correct height. I then bolted the brackets to the sliders with the spacers in place. You need to trim the excess length off the two front bolts, otherwise the bracket won't seat. This is where I used my air driven cut off wheel. A dremel will work too, but will take considerably longer. You want the head of the front screws to be going in from the bottom up! Otherwise the nut is too large and the brackets won't seat in the car properly.
Make sure everything is neatly ziptied in place and place the seats in the car. Plug in all the harnesses and place a 3 ohm resistor in the airbag plug.
Here's a shot showing the resistor installed in the harness plug. I used electrical tape to secure it in place.
[IMG]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b233/docwyte/IMG_0546_9_1.jpg[/IMG]
Loosely start each bolt, you may need to use a large screwdriver to get the holes to align. Now tighten all the bolts down.
Reconnect your battery, cross your fingers and start your car. The airbag light should go out in a few seconds and when you sit in the passenger seat, the light should switch from "off" to "on".
This took my about 4 hours to do, much of that was messing around with figuring out how large a spacer I needed and how all the bolts needed to go. The seats do sit a little bit lower than the lowest position on the stock drivers seat. You may be able to get away with a smaller spacer, but I didn't want the adjuster bracket to be under tension at all.
They are much more comfortable and they match the interior quite well. The only bummer is the loss of the side airbags.
I'm too tired to take a money shot right now and it's too dark for it to show up well. That and my cameras memory card is full. I'll take one tomorrow.

interesting. I am putting the same seats in my 02 wagon. I got one in so far.
Kinda surprised you did not use Wedge brackets. Then you would have up and down adjustments. With my brackets set at max I am nearly at the same height as a 02 seat slammed. I can't wait to get my adaptor to finish my install.

| DocWyte | 10-09-2006 11:36 PM |
The wedge brackets aren't really height adjustable. If you want them at their lowest setting, you have to cut off the other two welded nuts, so you can't change the height again.
I went with the sparco brackets because I got a set used locally for a really good price.

they are called the sport sportline and you can buy them at any recaro dealer.
the brackets have 4 total mounting holes drilled in them...yes? its because the company i work for produces those for sparco.

Yes, it feels much different from stock. Like sc00by4life said, they're recaro sport sportline seats. Way more supportive than stock and they hug you much more. Alot more thigh support too.
The sparco bracket actually has 8 holes in it, 4 are set inboard to the other 4 you use the outboard 4 holes to bolt to the sliders.

I LOVE those seats, just not a huge fan of the "waffle" pattern...but props for nice install!
| Zsbaug24 | 10-10-2006 02:34 AM |
I personally don't think Evo thigh bolsters are better than STI ones, but the seat backs are LEAGUES better. I always ask why subaru didn't put seat backs more like that in the STI. Its the only thing that I feel I wish was different from the factory as a stock car.
| BlueREX2004 | 10-10-2006 12:03 PM |
I like the EVO seats better than the STi seats. They seem to hold me better. Seeing that I drive a MY04 WRX anything holds better.

| PinnacleChronos | 10-10-2006 12:58 PM |
evo recaros/ sportline > any daily driven racing seat. They're way more comfortable and supportive than STi seats, you can't ask for more. I also like how the recaro symbol kinda has a low profile in this line..
| DocWyte | 10-10-2006 03:27 PM |
The thigh bolsters don't seem that high, but they do a surprisingly good job of keeping you planted in the seats. I had a set of Recaro Speed/SRD's in my last car and the thigh bolsters on those were so aggressive they'd make my right leg go to sleep. For a daily driver, these are perfect. For a dedicated track car, a little more thigh bolstering would be ok.
Yeah, the waffle pattern is a little weird, but at least the colors don't clash too much with the rest of the interior.
I love the seats, they're very comfortable and by far this is the cheapest way to get better seats in the car.
I've driven a bit more today and the seat is alot lower than I initially thought. It's maybe an inch lower than the lowest position of the stock drivers seat.

you can get the version 7 sti seats which are more snug than the evo recaros for $6-700. And they match the blue and bolt right in.

Yep, one single 3 ohm resistor.
I would've liked to have gotten the Evo 9 seats, but they're alot more $$ than the 8 seats. Leather would've looked nice too, but the cloth holds you in better and isn't as cold in the winter time.

for those that have used a wedge bracket for the evo seats, did you guys have trouble reusing the stock bolts? I cant seem to reuse the passenger side, rear inner bolt that bolts the wedge bracket onto the car. It's too short due to the wedge bracket being thicker and not directly flush witht he mounting hole. did you guys have to replace that bolt?
| DocWyte | 10-28-2006 09:21 AM |
It'll work. Use a large screwdriver or something to put in the hole and line the bracket up properly. I had a bear of a time getting the stock bolt into the passenger rear hole with my sparco bracket too. Once I got it lined up tho, it fit fine.
| djerickd | 10-30-2006 10:44 PM |
what if you wanted to leave out the occupancy bladder? Can you just throw a resistor on there to fool the ECU into thinking someone is sitting down?
| DocWyte | 10-31-2006 03:13 PM |
I'm not sure. Swapping it over isn't hard and it's a pretty integral part of getting the passenger side airbag to work...

i got these into my 03 wrx recently. had to wait for wedge brackets for about a month. they hold A LOT better than stock 03 seats. they hug your body a lot more. they also sit lower which is good for some tall ppl but since im only 5'4, they may be slightly too low for me, but i can deal with it as i just have to adjust and get used to it.
| ASpec818 | 11-01-2006 12:41 PM |
were you guys able to cover the rear two mounting bolts on the seat brackets by re-using the stock plastic covers?

I didn't try, it didn't look like the covers would fit tho.

First, i'll admit that the seats look awesome in the car.
2nd-does anyone else feel creeped out by this? Kinda like having a shemale hit on you, or your sister come on to you? It just doesn't seem morally right to put EVO seats in a STi.
(and for the record i've never been hit on by a shemale and my sister has never came on to me. lol that's just the kinda feeling i get by this project.)

Technically, these are not Evo seats. They are Recaro Sport Sportline, which is why these are part of the SSL package on the Evo.
Also, I would avoid Wedge brackets, at least the height adjustable ones. Believe me when I say the Speedware brackets are more secure, and their customer (or even non-customer) support is awesome.
Also, the Wedge adjustable brackets are stuck in one position, since the inside mount (closest to console) cannot adjust since the tab that mounts the bracket to the floor is in the way. You have to be at the highest setting, or cut the tab off to lower it.
I will post some pics of both setups later. I also have an extra Recaro SSL, complete with bracket, if anyone is interested. Just waiting on a replacement for the rear plastic shell, and it will be ready to go.

Here are some pics of my Wedge bracket, and why you have to cut the tab for the height you want.

i like the seats out of the 06 evo , the ones with the black suede and leather on them, those are not to attractive imo...
