Subaru Forester seats in a First gen

Has Anyone attempted this before?

 

It's all about getting them to mount correctly. Usually consists of welding and modifying some parts of the rails to line up.

 

There was a guy that put in WRX seats, but yea as mentioned above, just get them to mount correctly.

Think the WRX seats brought the seat much lower than factory?

 

I've been thinking about doing scion frs/subaru brz seats for a while. For the price $400-500. Can't find much newer, factory quality, and cushion support. Just have to take the leap and get the rails right.

 

I have 02 forester seats in mine 3/4 bolt holes matched perfectly, so I just welded a tab to the one that didn't match popped a hole for the bolt and called it a day, does it work, yes... is it safe, haven't crashed yet so couldn't tell ya lol

 

I have 06 wrx seats in mine, I welded on new mounting tabs at the corners to line up with the mounting spots in the cab. They definitely sit higher than the bench seat did.

 

Same with the forester seats, anyone taller on the passenger side always complains lol

 

3rd Gen 4 runner seats also sit up quite a bit higher than the stock bench seat. Much more comfy though

 

Thx I might give this a shot depending on the price of recovering the drivers seat is

 

Do they sit higher than the stock buckets too?

 

Not sure as I had the 60/40 bench. It's not bad though. Longer reach to the shifter. I would say between 1.5-2" higher. I am 5'-10" and puts my eyeballs at the very top of the windshield. Sit up higher like the bro dozer's

 

Maybe some options in this thread for you....

I put Nissan seats in my 95 ext cab. I cut seat mounts off original seat, cut off the mounting brkts on Nissan seats, welded originals back in there place, left every thing the same except the brkts.
