I would like all four to line up if posiable.

I mean is it as simple as ordering the recaro slider for my car?

just find a friend that can weld and have them rig something up... that is what i did. i have 02' RL seat in my 4dr 98 civic... Leather, 8 way adjust and last but certainly not least HEAT. i got my rigged for 50bux. took him like 4 hrs+ we had never done it before. I think i drank close to 50 bux of his beer though

Mike.

Just buy the seats... it won't be hard or cost much to make them fit. It's not hard to find someone who knows how to weld.

You can't expect them to be a perfect bolt in if you take them out of one car and put them in a completely different car.

first of all as far as i know the wrx seats are made by momo not recaro i may be mistaken, if they are recaro your in luck because recaro makes brackets for the eg there expensive but they come with all the bolts youll need and they fit perfectly i have lancer evo8 recaros in my eg and it wasent a hassle at all, you may have to buy new sliders, and if your interested i have the sliders brand new in a box sittin pretty in my basement. but if they are infact momo then just contact the company and thell hook you up, i got my recaro brackets directly from recaro for slightly cheaper then retail but if you dont want to mess with calling them just go to http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com

momo makes the brackets that you need its just figureing out the part number that will fit best, recaro makes it easy and makes one universal one momo on the other hand makes like 3-4 different brackets for the eg from 92-95 i dont know which ones you should use so your going to have to call momo on that lucky for you its a toll free call 800-251-7625 http://www.momousa.com http://www.shopmomo.com/sebrapch.html that should put you through to some one that might be able to help you, and you may want to go by subaru and get the parts diagram for the seat.
