Seat Swapping Thread - What will fit in what. - Page 2

ciper · 12-12-2003, 09:56 PM

Commmon problems:
Side seat belt has no holder, falls into door seam
Clip for lap belt rubs on center console
Seat height is different enough to cause uncomfortable driving (especially if you get non height adjust seats)

Anyways, I swapped 97 Legacy GT seats into my 90 Legacy LS keeping the 97 rails. The rails bolted fine. I had some seat belt issues so I decided to use the 90 rails with 97 seats. The 90 rails where a little shorter so I dremmeled the front and was able to bolt them to the 97 seats. I then dremmeled out two holes on the outside of each seat to connect the lap belt holder to the side. If you need specifics please ask.

I plan to take the 97 Legacy GT seats out and use 91 Legacy Turbo seats instead. The second generation Legacy seats aren't designed as well as the first generation units. Comfort is far higher with the older seats. I ESPECIALLY like that some first gens have Vertical AND Horizontal adjustable head rests

cybin: Your overly worried. You dont mind driving a vehicle with 15 gallons of extremely flamable liquid but you want to take out the HEAVILY regulated air bags that have never just deployed for no reason?

I'm still kicking myself for picking the V8 over the V7 to install on my MY00 - I should have been driving in the STi seats starting late September...

I'm looking for info on swapping height adjusters on JDM seats from my drivers seat to the JDM passenger seat so I can keep my adjustments.

I looked for Imprezer info on it but that too long ago and i couldn't find anything.

Not true. People have been hurt badly by airbags going off. The warning label even states that they can go off accidentally. Emergency workers have been hurt when they try to cut though the car and hit a side impact airbag. I drive with the gas becouse I have too, No sense driving around with airbags that are not hooked up.

Anyway heres one website with more info.

What about the Spec C Sti seats....I would love to put a set of those in my 2000 RS Coupe. Will those fit? I think those are '03...not sure though

Smoke · 08-18-2009, 01:30 AM

Hey lookie here.

A thread. Anyone know what seats can fit in a GC?

Can STi seats fit in the stock L brackets?

95preza · 01-21-2010, 02:54 PM

Would it be possible to swap a 98 Outback rear seat into my 95 Impreza sedan? Ive never seen the inside of an Outback so I have no idea, if they wont fit, would the seat cover swap?

Thanks for any help!

junkyardgabe · 02-05-2010, 08:39 PM

has anyone put 08-09 wrx seats in a 07 and older wrx?

sha_zapple · 10-26-2010, 03:21 PM

Bump from the dead. Might be common knowledge but...

2002/2003 WRX Sedan Front and Back seats will fit in a 95-99 Legacy Sedan.

A couple of notes though: You have to use your Legacy seat belt clip and a spare nut/bolt. The lowest position of the WRX seat is only slightly lower than the highest position of the Legacy seat. Only 4 of 5 front seat bolts line up. The rear seats fit well although there is a slight gap so you can see the top of the strut from the rear triangle window. Despite this, it's worth it, the stock Legacy seats are crap!

Now, which year WRX Wagon seats will fit a 2004 Impreza wagon? I assume: 2002-2007 Front will fit, 2002-2005 Rear will fit? Anything else?

Type2 · 09-08-2011, 02:42 PM

Another bump from the dead.

I am looking to see what needs to be done to swap a 2003 WRX wagon REAR seat into my 1995 L Wagon.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

So- my 2012 Impreza has seats that I just dont find comfortable. Plus I keep hearing a sqeaky spring sound from the backrest shoulder area. SOA is supposed to be fixing it but the noise is intermittent so its hard to replicate on command.
I really like this car other than the seats. I've driven Legacy's and find their seats to be much firmer and more supportive.
Would Legacy seats fit/work in an Impreza? And also what to do about the side airbag?? Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

warhamster · 04-22-2012, 09:08 AM

can anyone advise is 2001 impreza rs seats will bolt in to my 1992 subaru loyale? Thanks

subieguy87 · 05-01-2012, 02:13 PM

I beat all the 'it sits higher' complaints

02/03 seats
Ver6 bottom foam
Stock 98 rails

And my harnesses remedy any seatbelt issue I have

sub_sifu · 10-23-2012, 12:39 AM

bump from the dead yet again. I've been told 02 and 03 wrx seat belts may be different...although I'm having a hard time believing it. can anyone substantiate this claim? Can I use 02 buckles with 03 wrx belts?

The back seat will have to be modified a bit, but yes.
