Hi
i have a classic Impreza version 2.
I am shopping around for new seats.

Which is a better option the new age sti seats or the classic seats from V5/6.

I have heard that with the new age sti seats, the seat height is quite high in the classic. Is this much higher. Cant this be lowered with the seat base adjustment? Also the seats will clash with the door card colour.

Am looking for comfort, better support for the back and improve the interior.

Any advice / experiences welcome.

Thanks

You cannot lower the newage front seats,many have tried and failed. The rear seats also sit forward of the parcel shelf and leave a gap.

The V5/6 STi seats are pretty cool and very comfortable. The V Ltd seats are very nice too. They all fit straight in and match the door cards.

Simples.

Thanks are the V5/6 STI seats different from V2 in terms of comfort? Yes i agree they will match the door cards etc while new age sti wont.

Lovely and comfy with a more durable material and inner foam construction. Try a car with them fitted.

i have just put newage sti seats in MY96 JDM WRX, ( yesterady lol) yes they sit high but its not like your sitting in the roof so my opion is the newage look awesome, are super comfy and hold you in just as well, i have no rear seats so cannot comment on them.

Thanks for that feedback.I actually havent seen a classic with these yet.
Did you change the door cards as well as? I ask as the newage STI seats are a dark blue. Seen pics and the seats look great inside but i wonder how interior overall looks as door cards are different colour atleast for mine.

i had the newage seats in my classic facelift and they were to high for me, being 6.4ft!!
i find the sti for the classic are really nice to sit in and perfect for me being tall

i have custom doorcards so i couldnt really say again, IMO yeah get the door cards changed so that it keeps in flow with the seats unless you have stripped it out like my self with custom door cards and no rear seats etc.
