V6,

I have the STi seats from SPD.

As far as I know and what Mike told me at SPD, they are take offs from the Japanese STi RA which are converted to rally cars.

The seats I got were all wrapped up and in excellent condition. I even sniffed them, and either the guy who sat in them wore "new car" after shave or they were barely sat in.

I was very happy with the buy. Now I need to save up on those rear seats!

Hope this helps!
Jan

Hi,

Does your seat have those knobs for adjusting the height(the angle) of the seats?

This is because from SPD site, I saw there are two knobs located at the side of the seat.

Thanks

The knobs that come on the Sti seats are for the "driver", but in Japan (RHD). So you don't get any. But, there is a way to adapt the rails from a Forester to work with those seats. Do a search, or maybe someone here could pipe up with some details.

Yes the rear STi seats that Mike Shields has are covers that go over your stock foam. you have to have the head rest built up on the back to support the larger STi head rest, but that is it. They are about $650 and were in stock last week.

Of what Mike at SPD told me (or of what I can remember) is that the "rear STi seats" are something like the covering for our seats. You have to take the rear seats to a auto upholstery place and have them re-upholster your back seat. At least that's the way I understood it.
