Photo Reference Thread for Impreza Seats

Hey all. In reference to this thread, which is just one below this one right now, I thought it might be a cool idea to have a "reference" photo thread, with all of the variants of RS/WRX/STi seats, foreign and domestic. So, JDM, EDM/UKDM if they're any different, plus the USDM ones.

Please try to post good quality pics. :) Yeah "pic" threads should be in the Gallery, but this is more of a reference point than a "show off" thing. Once we get some posted, maybe I can edit them into this post in some kind of order. Something like that. Though I guess if you label it, for example, "JDM STi Ver.6" that'd be cool.

Thanks!
Chris

Thanks for your replies!

Here in my country those seats are quite rare in a GT (well, in fact, there are only a handful of GTs as mine). Almost all GTs sold here by the dealers came with these seats:



GTs cost nearly US$ 30,000 here (back in 97-98-99)... they came with no ABS, no airbags (strange for such a sport car), no front 4 piston brakes (since MY99 they came as standard), no sunroof...

i know this isnt really a thread for this but i dont want to start a whole new thread over this little question... i plan on purchasing some 04-05 sti seats really soon.... i can get a blue carpet with them for a little extra...anyone know if it will fit correctly?

What matters most to me is what seat will allow me to adjust my butt height?

I like having my butt sit low, and my legs sit high - this is the only way I can make long distance trips without my legs falling asleep.

Since the RS seats are pretty much garbage (in my opinion) what should I look into swapping them with?

The scuttlebutt used to be that the JDM seats from the GC Imprezas pretty much all only had driver-side height adjustment. Which for them, of course, is the RIGHT seat.

However, as I recall, first-gen USDM Forester driver's (LEFT) seat brackets and bases could be swapped on, which basically gives you the same adjustment.

Alternatively, I suppose you could do some serious overseas searching, and find an EDM (Euro) seat pair, with the wheel on the left, and pay to ship them over.

So im guessing having Sti seats with a 4 point harness would be pointless and annoying if your just cruising with your friends? Because i like the way the sti seats with the harness look but they seem like a pain to install and not worth if unless you rally it.
