2008 seats will drop into a Hawkeye, 3 of the 4 bolts line up. The rear bolt closest to the transmission tunnel doesnt match up and will need to be altered.

I was doing this mod myself but found that the STI seats in the latest Imprezas are nowhere near as good as newage WRX seats

TBH, I've not been imprerssed with Subaru's evolution of seats over the years.

They seem to sit higher and be for more lardy types too

If you guys aren't buying those front 2011 STi hatch seats, or if someone has another set I'd be interested in upgrading my 08 hatch ones.

Thanks

As per above, 2011 STI's aren't (IMO) as supportive as 2002 WRX's

Maybe it's the poor quality picture but those look different to the hatch STi seats? My 08 ones are a similar design but half leather alcantara. I thought the 2011 ones were now recaro branded?

Must be the pic, as he has the hatches lined up in his workshop. They are NOT Alcantara though if that is what anyone is expecting. They are very similar cloth to Bug/Blob WRX seats - can't compare to Hawk as I've never been in one
