Now 7000 superb miles under my belt with only 2 gripes with the car. Its an EU import so has the sports seat which is very supportive its very comfortable on the back but the base becomes uncomfortable - it feels hard and too narrow and makes my calves ache when sitting for longer periods. As I use this for long runs every now and then I want to change the seats - anyone got any recommendations on type and pref where I could find a shop/showroom to try them thinking of Recaro but what about cheaper Cobra/Corbeau/Konig etc I am looking for comfort whilst retaining side support and looks.

slightly off topic but id just like to say that ive found the standard seats in my WRX to be great, and very confortable even on long journeys. Im not sure if there is a difference between a UK car and an EU import?

Still though, its horses for courses, so good luck sir!

UK 03 has sport seats with side airbags, I believe. Benelux imports have bucket seats without airbags (mine does, anyway).

I'm really dissapointed with my seats - one of the reasons I wanted an Impreza was for the flash seats . Anyone got a rough idea how much blob eye sti seats are? I'm thinking about 2K...which is too much...Can old generation seats be fitted?

Anyone fitted recaro/konig/cobra/corbeau?
Thinking I may stick some MY03 UK seats in - less support than the EU spec sports but I really cant live with them on a long run.
