I was wondering if anyone had done a swap for the driver's seat from an 02/03 WRX into an STi? I have begun to hate my STi OEM seats, for their hard foam, lack of lateral support, lack of side bolstering, etc. Sure they look great, but they sit too high and I lose circulation in my legs and end up in pain after an average drive, not to mention a day at the track.

My 02 WRX seats are great, and although they still lack a lot of lateral support, the bolstering and overall comfort level is so much better, that I'd be willing to buy a WRX seat (02/03 only) if it meant I was still able to use the factory airbag in them on the 06 STi.

Does anyone know if the airbag'ed 02/03 WRX seat factory airbags/sensors would work with the 06 STi????

If not, then I guess the only answer is to lose airbags all together and get some Brides at some point, but the 02/03 WRX seats would fit the bill nicely until money starts to grow on trees around my house.

anyone?

How much would the WRX seats cost you?

Take that much and put it toward some Brides or Recaros. You'll be happier, and so will your back and legs.

Changing to Recaro Speeds was the best decision I ever made (pertaining to the car). I'm willing to forego the side airbags for being comfortable and supported in my own car.

i know that the buckles for the seatbelts wont work you will have to swap the 06 ones on to the 02 seat

In all fairness....someone local was GIVING away 02-03 WRX seats. Lord knows how nasty/dirty they were, but still that's pretty nice.

Recaro Speeds are still definitely better, and do feel worlds better then the WRX seats. But STi seats are trash compared to 02-03 WRX seats, IMO.
