As above guys i have a JDM 06 blob eye STI im6'2" and feel a little cramped after half hours of driving are the UK spec seats any diffrent be it rails are longer etc?

Thanks

Aaron

 

These are the other type of seats. Less bolstering.



No sure if ALL Type UK come with these seats as there are uk/euro models with the same Jdm narrower seats.

 

Hmm thanks for the pic mate the narrowness isnt a problem its the distance i can put the seatback that is i just need an extra couple inches to feel comfertable i reckon

 

Sorry bud its the way they are, im 6ft 4"

I was going to try some Bride or Recaro rails and seats one day, but pretty pricey.

Mine is an '03 Blob JDM, not the seats above, the ones with the grey patch in the front centre of the bottom part

 

Yh thats the same as mine mate.. May see if i can get some rails that are slightly longer will keep you updated mate ;-)

 

you would have to get them custom made, plus then you might be to far away from the wheel with your arms and the arm rest would be of no use!

 

I think im too close to the steering now tbh.. Armrest is useless for someone my height anyways

 

your not that tall in fairness, so it does sound like you have a problem with the runner, I can use the arm rest and dont feel to close to wheel at all, would be nicer being a bit further back, but its not critical

 

does the passenger seat go back as far?

 

Yhep passanger goes back the same amount.

Maybe i need some more adjusting time as iv come iut a mk2 RS and a bm 7 series.

Theres only about 3" from the back of the drover seat to the rear seat

 

Sounds like you havent got the seat lowered all the way? You need everything back as far as it will go.

But yeah, tis a rally car , its not a low slung coupe style fit on the seat unfortunately

 

Unless its jammed its all the way down. Il have a look see

 

Nope chairs all the way back and down yet i have to lean to the left to be able to rest my arm on the armrest and its uncomfortable

 

The problem with the seats you have in the facelifted Blobs is that they sit too high

 

I think thats what the problem is.. If it dat down a couple inches more it would be comfy i guess. Is it the seats are diffrent or the runners?

 

Pre facelift newages sit about an inch and a bit lower I don't think they are interchangable though as from memory the mounting point is higher, well it was on my Spec D

 

Ahh guess il have to get hold of a seat and try.. The inch and a bit could make a world of diffrence

 

Yup, I hated the seating position tbh. I since bought a S202 and the seating position is fantastic. Not that that helps you lol but it was a big PITA in my old Hawkeye.

 

Haha yh not very helpful mate lol enjoy your noce seating position lol

 

Just seen your from Wolverhampton Hope your a Wolves fan!!


There are quite a few people on here with scoobys who are taller then you, I know Big Fud is 6"5 or there abouts and ive never heard him say anything about the seats!! Maybe he could tell you which are the most comfortable seats as he has had over 30+ Impreza's over the years.

 

53 - are you saying the bug eye seats are lower? as although I do fit in mine (im 6ft 4" so i think the guys seat is foobarred!) a little extra space would be nice

 

I sure am from wolves mate you local?

Yh il ask him the question as i really like the car its just the seating positon which is optimal but may just take some time getting used to

 

Im in Willenhall mate!! Got a 06 Hawk STi.

 

Cool mate would be good to meet up ;-)

 

Yeah, Pm me when ever you want to meet up, My mate has a 06 JDM Hawk STi too, so would be good to meet up and get some pics!!

 

Sounds good mate.. Just awaiting my coilovers, wheels,- and zunsport grill then some snaps would be wicked

 

Imagine a picture of 3x Hawkeye STi's parked up next to the Billy Wright statue!!

 

Mines a blob eye.. Its a very late one bone the less the pic would be awesome

 

Yes MY05+ Subaru raised the seating height
