Guys, the seats in my 2006 STi are really rubbish- the side support is near non-existent.

I used to love the Recaros in the Evo. Can they be fitted to an Impreza easily?

Thanks

i would assume it woul djust be a case of a phone call to recaro and ak them as i would guess they would just need new rails

A cheaper alternative maybe for you to look at STI7 seats as they are narrower and way more supportive than the STI8 on seats which I agree offer woefully little support.

You should be able to sell yours for around £450 and pick up a set of decent STI 7 for similar money or slightly less and they will fit straight in.

Maybe have a look at an STI7 for sale somewhere and see what you think of the seats then if they will work start searching as they do come up.

Yeah have the same problem with STi8!

Has anyone fitted classic Sti6 seats in a newage, guessing they will be lower too!

iwsti have alot of threads fitting recaros.

I had this problem with my bugeye WRX - it came with the airbag (non bucket) type seats, offered no support - used to often crash off the seat into the door when cornering hard (serious!).

I changed them for some front seats off an earlier WRX bugeye model, which are the same as the STI7 ones (but just not alcantera / suede) I believe. Seats cost me £100. You could pick up a set from Saj @ Japperformanceparts I'm sure.

For me, it meant making up a couple of resistors or buying a few resistor blocks from a Subaru dealer and plugging them into the original seat loom to stop the airbag light coming on on the dashboard - although I'm guessing if you have an STI already you maybe don't have that issue?
