Modify your stock seats!

wrx2sti · 06-03-2003, 07:30 AM

Yesterday i took high density foam. Opened up the bottom of the seat.
There are even zippers in the back of seats. I bolstered my own seats.
I have had recaros and they feel similar. Food for thought. Cheap and
Easy.

How about some picts?

What exactly did you do? Replaced your seat cushion with high density foam? Pics would be good...

i think he stuffed it; like padding a bra.

Nathan · 06-04-2003, 08:54 AM

please tell us more, and show us some pics!

I noticed this when I sat in the seats, they are great seats, but they just feel like they forgot some of the stuffing. they don't snug up against your sides like they should. maybe someone could manufacture some inserts for us to make em just right?

oh oh, and while they are at it, make it from Tempur-pedic material. Now that'd be some hip hugging and (rear end) groove stuff going on then.

I used roll bar foam from summit racing it comes in 3 ft sections and
cut it down the middle. The bottom of the seatback comes apart. I
reached up from the front with the seat tilted back. the secret with the
bottom clasp is to roll the top half over before sliping it in the grove.
The seat feels great.

wrx2sti, thanks for the tip. I went to summit and they have different types. how thick did you get?? They have 1", 3/4", and 1/2". thanks for the info

Xman · 08-06-2003, 12:43 PM
