Looking for some seats
Guys, advice needed!
I'm after some new seats, really struggling with the driving position in the wagon at the minute and it's doing my back in so wanted to try out an alternative rather than sell the car
I'm ideally looking for some V4 onwards classic STI seats with the adjustable squab so if anyone spots any or has some for sale please let me know! Doesn't seem like there are any decent condition ones around, all the ebay ones look like they've been sat at the bottom of a lake!
Would also appreciate thoughts from anybody else who's changed to aftermarket seats as well? Found some nice Sparco recliners but can't be bothered with subframes etc. yet.
Thanks!

The most comfortable seats Iv ever sat in were the blue ones from Ver6 Type R, very supportive & so comfortable. Jap Parts have them below.

Thanks for the tips everyone! Know it sounds weird, but it feels like the pedals are too far away but the steering wheel is too close!
Budgie - are the Spec C ones much different? Rare as hen's teeth so pretty much pointless waiting for them now there's no more MSOC Spec C's haah, but damn good looking, only the S203 ones I like more.
Definitely want recliners, I think you're spot on the money Ricky, the ver 4, 5 and 6 are pretty much the same aren't they. Only trouble is Jap Performance want stupid prices, and the blue is a bit
Dave - what are the ones you've got mate?
I've found some sexy buckets if worst comes to the worst!

Dammit, I thought I'd got rid of all the naked pictures of me on the internet!
Mantas - those Recaros are lovely aren't they, shame it's collection only from Preston...

PM me if you can RescueDude, thanks
Hoping I can find something. To be honest, I'd like to see some of your STI's and see what they're like, I'm in a bit of a quandry as to what to do with the wagon, but if anyone wants a really nice condition (and very cool!) wagon then gimme a shout!

I've messaged the guy with the seats so he should be in touch with you.

I'm an interloper from the Type-ra forum, but i have taken all the seats out of my 2003 spec c ( going racing!) so have spec c fronts and rear bench looking for a home.Black with red sti logo, good condition, drivers the only one with any wear, at the base of the backrest. Full recline and height adjust within the seat itself. Only problem is the mounting frames/runners are still in the car supporting the new corbeau race seats, i can get them out if needed, but the seats should bolt to your runners anyway.
Would be looking for about 1/2 the price of jap perf, but collect from kent.
If interested pm me with e-mail and i will send photos.
