no idea
i've been driving bmw's for the last 10 years - the seat I have now has a real curve to the lumbar region and its pretty hard - did 200 miles today and now my back aches - I just cant sit comfortably - either the lumbar support bushes the base of my spine out if I sit with the seat back upright or I feel like i'm straining my back if I recline the seat back - there seems to be no happy medium for me anyway
are there any subaru ones that are more comfy you can recommend that fit - I dont want anything that's like a bucket seat

I've got Hatch Sti seats in my Hawkeye, they are not as hard as the original seats but not as supportive laterally if you like a bit of track action you might be disapointed. I like them, but they wont be to everyones taste. You also need to mod the airbag light.

okay so I read on another site about a seat mod
took me 5 mins and I did another 2 hours in the car today and my back was much better - still needs a few tweaks but it's 100% improved
next I need to open up the side bolsters because i'm fairly wide in the lat area and they dig in but that can wait
