Default Bombers STI7 front & rear seats - dry stored since 25k miles*****£300*****

Having a cut down of my spares guys.

I have a pair of front STI 7 blue alcantara seats and rear bench available.
These are widely regarded as the best seats Subaru made.
Much more hugging than the STI 8 onwards seats and a lot more supportive. The STi8 onwards seats were made for the amercan market and are cut much wider than these.
These were removed from my car at approx 25k miles and have been dry stored since. As a result they are in the condition you would expect.

Pics to follow.

Collection from Essex

Final price drop - £300 no offers.

Hi Frayz,

Am I right that these will go straight in a classic but elevate the driving position somewhat?

They should bolt right in on the existing mounts. As now confirmed they raise the seat position slightly when fitted into a classic, newage is stock height.
They're snug like classic seats, not to be confused with the STI8 seats.

Okay guys,

Finally got some time to get these out and get some photos.

Unfortunately I have found a couple of small water marks on the drivers seat. This must have happened in storage, they're very very slight and are sometimes difficult to see as alcantara looks different in different lights or depending on how the pile flows. However I've tried to get pics as best I can.

To be perfectly honest this is me being picky and those who know me, know I don't sell rubbish. I'm just being open and honest, they will probably wipe straight out with some interior shampoo but I've left them alone.

I've also photographed the drivers bolster as we all know these wear quite badly. As you can see, these are exceptionally good indeed.

These are still probably the nicest condition STI 7 seats you'll find, however I've reduced the price to reflect the minor imperfections I have found.

These are collection only as I don't want them damaged in transit.















Water marks, as you can see, they change in different lights but barely noticeable, I'm just being honest.





Drivers bolster





The rear bench is stored at my dads and is sealed in bubble wrap. However, photos available on request.

Price drop £350ovno

Thanks Tyler, can we just be clear for anyone interested, they only raise the seating position slightly when fitted to a classic.

Newage is stock

Do they go right forward like the type r seats do? So you can still get into the back of the car?

yes you can easily tilting slide them forward. They have a lever adjustable back lean so they can be tilted very quickly.

I've now got 3 people interested who are struggling to collect.
Surely it's worth a little jaunt to Essex.

Just food for thought for some. They could be sent by a pallet carrier for £50 if that helps, obviously I don't know if this suits Frayz liking, just a suggestion

I'd do it at buyers expense but would take no responsibility for damage caused during transit. I'd like the collected ideally. But would send them if the buyer sorted a courrier.

£250 if you'll deliver them?
There's a full set (fronts and rear) for sale for £200, I'm eventually going to cover them with leather/alcantara so not bothered about condition that much.

If you're not bothered about condition then buy the cheap ones at £200 mate.
These are not £200 crap you see out there, so the price reflects it.

I've dropped these to £300. You won't find em in better condition. Bolsters are solid and have no bobbles, they're clean and come from a smoke free home.

Totally agree with frayz, you've answered your own question really if you're not bothered about condition buy a tatty set and save money. Frayz seats deserve to be put in a car as they are due to their excellent condition and be enjoyed.

Frayz would these alter the driving position in a hawkeye sti?
assume these would bolt straight in?
no need to change runners etc
wouldn't cause any issues with air bag sensors etc

Cheers dude

Like for like as far as I know Steve. Your belt pretensioners are part of the inerta reel so doesn't affect the seats. Should be a direct swap.
