Subaru of America screws us yanks over with the "fat people" seats that have literally zero lumbar or side supports for the normal sized man. I know that your STi has good lumbar/side supports, but I don't much fancy the blue since I have a red WRX. So what are your standard WRX seats like for the new age Impreza? And does anyone have any for sale?

Matt,
These are mine (03 WRX), I don't find them very supportive though.

Those are the WRX sports seats (from a Blob eye) - you can get WRX buckets which feel like STI seats but are a grey colour (and still have the hump to space your legs). Only seen them on Bug eyes, though...

FWIW the STI7 Bug eye seats are the tightest seats you'll ever find in a Scoob - they're mad - no chubbers allowed

Cobreth

Wow, you guys get the fat seats, too. I really don't know what Subaru was thinking when they got ahold of these seats... THEY SUCK!


So does the bugeye WRX come standard with black STi seats in England? What about P1 seats? I may buy those, but how supportive do you think they would be?

I might be wrong but I thought you only had those seats if you had the optional side airbags. Otherwise you would get the standard bucket seats.

Cobreth

That could be true. My US seats have side airbags and they look just like the ones posted.

Euro imports have the STI seats but in 1 colour. And I love them.

Those P1 seats are really nice. How do they feel to sit in?

Is there such a thing as STI seats with side airbags???

Having been in a serious car accident, I would'nt sacrifice my side airbags for anything.

Cobreth

Our US STi seats have side airbags. They're identical to the WRX seats, but have the blue/black suede.

In the UK, STI seats don't have the airbags...

baz69birds

you sit quite low, BUT feel better than what i had.

Cobreth

Well, being 6'5" and driving a car with a stupid moonroof, I'd love to sit down lower!


I just gotta be sure I can fit P1 seats in my new age WRX.

-Matt

these were taken out of a CLASSIC & put into a BUG EYE
they needed a little adjusting to fit.

he took them out & sold to me & i put them in my CLASSIC

p.s im 6'2".

Cobreth

Nevermind, got it. Ok, so it IS possible!


Now I just gotta figure out how weird it'll be to drive in a "passenger" seat. I'm assuming the left seat doesn't have a height adjustment?

-Matt

P1 prodrive seats. whole interior was taken from a classic FITTED to a BUG EYE & then put back in a CLASSIC.
