Slight modding has to be done, also for the airbag if your car has a sensor for it will hae to be modded. I think the seat bracket has to be purchased for a Recaro that fits Subies or something like that.

then drive carefully hehe..any aftermarket seat that doesn't belong on your car would not have the air bag sensor thing.

rears are gonna be pretty much garbage, almost no one is going to want to buy them. i had the Evo9 leathers in my car and damn, it looked HELLA nice! i loved it! you will have to get aftermarket rails and sliders and some slight modding to the evo seats. Bride or Recaro rails should work fine, i was using the bride rails.
