08 Impreza + 02-03 front seats?
Hi everyone! I recently purchased an '08 Impreza N/A 5-door, and am excited to actually come out from lurking as an actual Subie owner
I've been considering how to gently mod the car without going over-the-top, and one of the first things I considered was the front seats. My younger brother owns an '05 2.5i 5-door, and we both LOVE his front seats. They're not crazy-bolstered like the WRXs or STis, but they do a phenomenally better job than my '08 front seats. As far as I can tell, the N/A seat design hasn't changed from '02-05, so I was wondering if 02-03 2.5i front seats can be fitted into my '08 Impreza? What, if any, custom modifications would I have to consider? Thanks in advance, folks!

Ahhh....so refreshing to hear a new owner consider a functional and tasteful idea as opposed to the typical chorus of "bought a 2.5, need powah, is a walmart exhaust/turbonator/600$ supercharger/naws sticker a good mod"
PS: welcome, (and I have no idea if 02 seats fit a 08) |

My goals are relatively simple: keep the engine N/A, make the system as efficient as possible (nuts to ridicurrous, unrealistic hp gains), a good suspension/brake setup, and interior niceties to keep my passengers and I in relative comfort. That said, it would seem that earlier-model front seats would be a great "downgrade" in functionality for all passengers: driver & shotgun passenger receive better bolstering & higher line of eyesight over the dash, while the rear right passenger actually gets a pass-through for his/her feet underneath the shotgun seat. The '08 front passenger seat doesn't allow that to happen. Anyone considered this move to earlier-model front seats, even base 2.5i ones for the current model year? BTW, thanks for the welcome, Blue |

A random thought: this might be a non-newbie question, so I'll repost my seat query in the interior mod section.
