Gauging Interest: 04 wrx seats
 

I am going to buy new seats sometime in the future because the stock seats are too narrow in the leg area and are killing me. I just wanted to see if there was anyone locally interested in buying some of these seats. There are no rips worn down spots or stains, black on black.

PM Trisca. Her husband and her were just complaining about their Outback's seats. Will 04 WRX seats fit in a MY 03 OB?

I think they'll fit, almost a drop in too. But not quite.

I'm very interested, depending on your price. My seats are pretty torn up, and I like the 04 style better anyways. How much?

i was thinking around 400, at least thats what ive seen.

My budget is more like $300, but I don't really know what they are worth. If you don't get any better offers then let me know. I'm not saying they aren't worth 400, I just can't spend that much right now. Thanks.

That's not really in our budget at the moment so count us out, thanks anyway. Or more acurately, I am not spending that kind of money on seats for my car, there's better things for me to buy, like shoes! ;-)
The seats are not really that bad, I can live.

I know ScottyS said buying my 03 WRX seats for his OB was one of the best decisions of his life.

I'd love to get them, let me know when you are getting the new seats and we'll talk money.

ok sounds good. Does anyone have suggestions on good replacement seats. I like the design of my current seats, im just looking for wider. I am looking at the Sparco Monzas but it would be cool to know of some good alternatives.

Most of the aftermarket seats are actually tighter than the factory seats. You might want to see if someone w/ an '04 STi is willing to trade you + cash, asn the '04 STi seats run wide. I know Dean was complaining at one point that he liked his '02 WRX seats better than his '04 STi seats.

Plus, w/ the STi seats, you'll have no issues w/ mounting brackets, and I believe they've even got the side impact airbags.

I thought the 04 Sti and WRX seats were the same frame and padding, with different covers? I read that somewhere not long ago.

Really? I know the 04+ seats look similar, but I thought the WRX seats still fit like the '02/'03 seats.

I think most people have said the 04+ WRX seats aren't nearly as tight fitting as the 02-03 seats. I think the 04+ Sti seats get the same complaints. I know I've sat in an 04 WRX and the seats are definitely looser than my seats. I think the USDM Sti seats are the same, with a different cover on them.

The whole reason I was looking at the Monza seat was because I saw it in a nasioc members car and he said the reason he got it was because of the same problem. Does anyone know of a place in town that has a seat display that you can sit in? I have sat in the one at summit racing but I dont like any of those seats. Im pretty sure fibercraft racing has some seats but I dont think those seats are what im looking for.

Seat yourself and your passenger in thrones.

From looking at the pictures on sparcousa it looks like the Monza utilizes the same frame base width as the Torino which I used to have in my WRX(long ago). Those seats were much tighter than the oem 03 seats.

I'm not sure what that nabisco guy is talking about.

I haven't seen any seat displays in town except at Summit.

well son of a bitch

Fixed, and yes, this is still true. Right up there with asking my wife for our first date.

The 02-03 seats don't look as cool as the 04+, but they sure feel awesome for thin(ner) folks. I even managed to acquire a second set for the next Suby I purchase.

I eat thin(ner) folks for lunch. and I want seats that look good as well so I guess that rules out 02-03 seats.

I was just looking at the Corbeau seats and it looks like most of the reclining seats come in a wider version too. Prices aren't too bad either.

thanks for that link. I was just in fibercraft racing yesterday and they sell corbeau seats but they only have the buggy seats in stock. Im gonna ask if they can order one of those so I can sit in it before I buy it. And then theyre probably gonna tell me to go suck a d!@k

How big a guy are you? Have you sat in the Recaro SRD?

If not, come to the meet tonight and you can try out mine. :D
