I've not done it myself so cant comment on experience but its fairly common to fit later seats in classics.

They sit a bit higher I believe, friend fitted them and took them out as didn't feel right but other people seem happy with them. Personally I struggle for headroom already due to the sunroof in my classic so sourced a set of Classic STi seats instead.

Yes you sit higher, there was a lad on here that had a drivers seat up for grabs that he had cut the subframe so the seat sat lower. Thats another option if the height bothered you. Will see if i can find it.
