Thats a yes for the old shape Forester and classic Imprezas.
Just be careful with new shape Forester/Impreza seats if they have airbags in.

We have a WRX drivers seat in our '97 Forester. Only thing that didn't fit was one of the plastic 'rail' covers.

The Forester seat is higher off the floor, but all the mounting points are in the same place as the Impreza.
I had the Forester seats as low as possible anyway and the WRX seats had some front & back height adjustment to get a bit higher.

HI Ira,
Just when I go and buy a WRX, the STi Forester came out
Still, in 18 months time I'll get one - a 2.5 T and fit a twin scroll

I still lurke on subaruforester.com now and again, making little wishful sighing noises.

Nick
