Default Fitting an Mitsu EVO 9 seats into an 06 STi

Hey everyone. I recently purchased EVO 9 recaro seats from a buddy of mine. He gave me a good deal so I snapped it up for 800 bucks. Anyway, I'm trying to make them fit into my 06 STi. I was wondering if anyone here has done this before and if so, where did u purchase the brackets? thanx

Mike

Dunno what they charge but if you search on ebay you should be able to find em dirt cheap.... key word "3.3 ohm resistor" and all you need are 1/4 watt ones.
