Do they have to be for a wagon?will gc8 seata fit?

Pretty sure they have to be wagon specific because GC8 don\'t have the back support.

[DacerX]

rears for wagon and sedan and are different

[gf8wagon]

sweet cheers guys.

if anyone knows any v5 v6 rear wagon seats forsale let me no!cheers for your help!!

[Reckliz RS STi]

not sure if anyone has commented if the sti seats fit in the B4 legacys(BH/BE)????

[DacerX]

yeah they fit just not in BP/BL

[DacerX]

what the hell swaps into a BL/BP? ???

[syphe]

V7 seats and up will fit won\'t they?

Do you have airbag seats? I wasn\'t sure whether the pre-facelift\'s had airbags, I can\'t see \'srs-airbag\' on my seats so thought maybe the early ones don\'t have airbags anyway, which means you avoid problems getting a airbag light and failing WOF because of it.

[DacerX]

mine has airbags in the seats, i know that much, but i dont think that v7 will work i think that it has to be v11- but im going to try tonight putting the GC sti seats in for track day

[Kiwi_Fozze]

airbag lights can be kept happy... measure the resistance of the plug, and biff a resistor of the same value into the plug that\'s left when seat is removed...

[DacerX]

Well I have figured out that that GC or gen 1-3 or v7 seats will not fit into 4th gen legacy, font of the rails are perfect but the rear of the rail on the tunnel is very different as well as well as the other one of the floor, but the height of wrx seats are perfect and are a good size.

I've just put v7 sti seats in my v4 sti gf8.

They sit alot higher and it's kind of annoying.

How can I lower them more?

Hi there was just wondering whether version 9 STI seats would bolt straight into my 2007 Legacy GT B4? the current ones are leather with airbag and heated, if they would fit would I have any airbag issues or CEL lights?

Cheers

Unsure on the fitment side of things. But as for the airbag, removing it will likely cause the airbag light to show on dash. To get around it you need to buy a resistor and install it on the open plug. You can buy kits to plug straight in or you can buy a resistor from jaycar for like 70c. I can't remember the specs of the resistor but google should be able to help.

Anyone else done this mod? Or know if it will work?

[Foresterboy]

wasn't sure where to post this but does anyone here have a solution to, the washer/nut for the bolts on my seat rails has come off its weld and now I have a loose bolt on the rear right on my wrx and I cant get it out

[Joker]

the nut uder the floor you mean, yea it gets a tad tricky once that happens i hear

[BriteLites]

Does anybody have experience with coupe seats? I've bought a coupe with no seats and want to know if sedan rears fit and what Model has a tilt mechanism to get to the rear seats?

[Joker]

ooh them goood questions!

I had v7 sti seats in my coupe. It had the lever on the back of the seat and one down the bottom on the back. On both sides. No idea what variant of the v7 sti it came from though

Soooo V5 STI seats sit lower than v7?

Doesn't fit. Rails are different. If you want to try and swap the seat rails over ( think pop rivets and security screws) you could get them to work, but you are removing the seat airbags which the wof and cert guys really won't like

Cheers for the answer.

 

Went through it with a few lvvta guys at a trade show last year and provided factory rails and a bunch of other things (seat load sensor so other airbags work etc) it is possible.

 

but if I have to buy full seats to get rails the price starts to go up too much. And factory seat rails (non recaro) are rarely level as they allow room for the adjustment makes them sit really high.
