I picked up a pair of used JDM (Japanese Domestic Market ) STi seats for my little silver wagon. These super comfortable seats have to be tinkered with a little to fit : move the seatbelt sensor over, see if lift mechanism can be adapted. Then make sure the bolts are torqued to the prescribed number.
Why did I switch seats and in this case to a right-hand-drive cars’ ?
JDM performance seats are very well bolstered, designed by Recaro and fit my frame well. So this means I wont’t be sliding around as much in corners… and I mean me, not the car. Though that is now quite likely…
As for my old seats, I’m keeping them. Plan to turn one into my Online driving seat and the other just a lounge chair.
