what i wanna know is....

are all seats the same.... so is it possible to install a 93 seat to an 97 or 2003 ... or a 2003 into an 95 or whatever?

if not could someone tell me what years are the same ?

thanks

IIRC, all seats from the classics are inter-changeable, as are those from later models.

The later STi seats WILL go into classics, but apparently sit a bit high.

so from 93 - 2007 the seat frame is always the same?

why a classic seats doesnt fits a newage model?

I didn't say the frame was the same, I said that all classics are interchangeable, (93-00), and all newage are interchangeable.

The bolt holes are the same, but the subframe changed with the bugeye, AFAIK, so that the later seats sat too high for a classic.

I'd suppose that a classic seat would suffer clearance probs.

I don't suppose anyone knows if it is possible to fit a classic subframe to a new age seat to get the right height?

Dunno mate, but I DO know that SOME seats can have their covers entirely removed and replaced, and not too much work involved.

Me and my eldest recently bought an Ibiza Cupra interior to replace the stock interior in his 1.4.

When we got to the seller, the driver's seat frame was twisted, and the driver's side rear seat back bent almost double.

The seller showed us how to remove the cover from the driver's seat, and gave us a standard seat to swap it onto, and a standard seat back for the rear to do the same.. All we had to do was remove IT'S cover and put the Cupra one in it's place.

It took us about an hour, with him doing the front seat and me doing the rear.

NEITHER seat LOOKED as if the cover was SUPPOSED to come off, but both did, and easily once you knew how

The only problem we had was getting it all into the Xantia to bring back from Durham.

What ever you do don't get newage WRX UK seat's they're bloody awful. Made for the US market, they're wide flat and unsupportive, like the yanks @rses..

The seats from EU WRX's are the same as the STI, with the hump in the middle of the seat. Therefore very supportive..
