Evo 8 Recaro seats

[turbogate]

Hey fellas, my friend is giving me an incredible deal in some super clean Evo 8 Recaro seats similar to pic below that I shouldn't pass on. I searched around and it doesn't seem a common swap in the MKIII world. Do you guys see any challenges in fitting these in my car? Any brackets suggestions or tips or has anyone done it? They will come with the Evo base and sliders. My car is no longer a daily driver, so I can deal with the loss of confort if that's the case and save some lbs. Thanks.

as I stated in SF try and contact Wedge Engineering for brackets.

Call wedge

Be an idea to sit in some first, they're quite narrow, I'm not a huge guy and find them uncomfortable for anything other than a squirt around the block.

Agreed, they are tight for sure, and very solidly bolstered.

Thanks guys, I'm 6.1 and weight around 192-194 on a good day lol. First thing I did was try them and I felt confortable while I felt tight and secured in place. I will make sure to sit in them a little bit longer. My friend has a Evo 9 in his shop right now. I'm hearing some not to good reviews about the wedge brackets but those with not so good reviews were complaining about the lack of sliders w/ the wedge etc, but I have the sliders and base from the Evo. I'll keep exploring mounting options.
