They are not as buckety (if that is a real word
) as the classic ones but soooo much better quality , build etc. They feel much nicer to sit in, but be warned if you are a really tall bloke they sit slightly higher.

I started with STi8 -
But they sit too high, so I changed the fronts for STi6 V-limited -
Much better!

Fronts just bolt in. Rears need a little bit of change to the brackets, but it's dead easy.

Is that a really strange camera illusion? Or is your passenger seat a bit smaller than your driver's one?!!?

20 times matey, although to be fair seats and how comfy they are tend to be based on your individual shape, but not had anyone say they have found them a problem unlike the normal ones
