I've searched around a bit, most topics are from '04 or '07.

What are the most popular racing seats to put into an '01 GT? Harness, bracket, etc. .

Price isn't an option I need to replace my seats before anything. . .

These are the images from the dealership I bought my car from. I can take better ones when my iPhone is fixed. Looking for just a name, or something.

I have limited time with my car, before I have to return to duty:yesway:

Search around some, there's been a few threads on this already. Just avoid ebay brands get something DOT compliant. I believe the seats from some years of Lancer fit with out modification.

I heard the EVO 8 seats are plug and play.
As mentioned, they are not and take some fabrication if you want to make them fit and retain their full functionality. (Information here and here.)

If you are making your own brackets please over engineer them. Seats are a key component in keeping you safe at the worst possible instance. I personally had a shop do them that builds drag cars in the sub-10 range and knows what they are doing when it comes to safety.

They, obviously, would not be plug and play. You, again obviously, have to have custom brackets made and who knows about if the seat sensors would work with the Eclipse Airbag system.

I have never personally installed them or sat in them but some friends of mine highly recommend Corbeau racing seats. They have a great selection of seats and you also have the option to get them to install heated seats and/or lumbar support. There is multiple fabric and color options as well, another plus is Corbeau actually makes brackets for the seats that are specific to the 3G. With that said I would assume its all bolt on and no custom work needs to be done, But like I said I have never installed them so I am not 100% sure on that.
