Has any one tried to install 04-06 WRX or 04-07 Lancer Evo seats in a first gen camaro?
If so how do they fit? Does anyone have overall dimensions of the seats?

I ended up buying BMW 3series seats. But I did sit in the WRX seats for a while. I think the only problem would be the height.

They are 2006 BMW 3 series.
I was so excited about getting them I forgot all about getting them from a 2 door....
I can still move the seats enough to get someone in the back if needed.
From the pic that the BMW seats are a better match than the GTO seats.

I bought a WRX setup for my second gen. I am going to cut all of the bracketry off and then build a very low frame out of square tubing. The distance from the bolts from to back is spot on, but the WRX tracks are wider than the second gen. I am hopeful I can get them low enough as I really like the seats.

the recaros out of an 8 fit like a glove, you just gotta adrill holes for them to bolt in.
