You'll need to swap the seatbelt buckles over, which is very easy.

a milk crate is better than the crappy uk standard seats get them bolted in the more time you wait the more time there is to think put them in and be done with it you can thank us later for convincing you lol

They also fit straight into the early Legacy's, even the rears. That's where my old V5 seats went.

They will fit just fine, straight swap.

@playtime If it is a late classic Turbo then the standard seats are certainly not crap, in fact they are probably the best seats Subaru ever put in a non STI car and arguably better than many of the newage STI seats.

The V6 STI seats are the same as them but with a different trim.

Agreed. I was just about to post the same.
There should be no need to change buckles and late classic seats are the best I've experienced in any Impreza. The trouble is in finding a set in good condition.
I have a set of Prodrive Recaros (an option for Classics) sitting in my garage. I took them out because they were not as good as the originals.

I have just done the opposite and fitted the Electric Prodrive seats in my car

I put V3 STis in my WRX and had to change the front buckles as they wouldn't hold the belt in.

It may be because they came from wagon and mine is a saloon, but I'd definitely try them before bolting the seats in place.

Got them in now - they look nice - rear bench has loads of pot burns I think on the rear cushion - so now looking for a rear seat bottom cushion - fronts are ace though.

the best impreza seats i have come across is out of the v7 sti they hold you well and are really comfy. i also had the electric prodrive recaros in my classic and found them exceptionally well

ive got the v6 seats in my uk clasic and you need to change the buckles as there not the same.

ade_sti

iTrader: (2)

changed the buckles too. I know they are the same seat as uk - but feel so much better to sit in, I think

Funny you should say that as when I said better then most newage STI seats the reason I used the word most rather than all was becuase of the V7 STI seats which are narrower than their later counterparts and do indeed hold you in. I know this as that is what is in my classic.
