TRD Japan seats for 86

[MisterSheep]

Just wanted to open up a discussion about these seats.

https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/41905




The most beautiful seats IMO for our cars. It's part of my build plan but being as I am in the united states, more specifically northern california, I haven't been unable to find anyone who has these seats. They look like a semi-bucket seat and curious as to what it might feel like for myself and other passengers.

Yeah I'm just curious if anyone has these or has sat in them. I'd like to put them into my car but idk what would happen if a larger than myself person were to get into them. I'm 6feet 185 pounds and 34 waist.

Your measurements are pretty standard (I'm the same just 2" shorter) and I fit in most seats, even the tighter ones. I'd say things start to get uncomfortable passed 40 waist (I have some big friends).

as mentioned on Japanparts.com
* One-touch reclining mechanism (40-stage adjustment) is equipped.
* Hip point locates almost same position as standard seat.
* Side airbag to be canceled when TRD seat is installed.

Not sure what they mean when they mention the hip point. I am not sure- They do look like they sit at a similar height to stock, and it uses bottom mounts. I myself would prefer a seat that sat lower for better ergonomics(for me) and helmet clearance. The leg bolsters on the seats do look longer with a raised angle and the end which I like. Unknown fitment is the worst part, Japanese seats are usually on the narrow side.

I would try to find out if there is a size chart and if the left and right side seats have the same features.
Also find out if the mounts/sliders are included.

I'll send an inquiry to japanparts asking about the product to ask your same questions.

Oh trust me man sometime I get replies like "me think part fit Japan not sure oversea" and I was all like "you think it fits a JDM car but your not sure, dont you sell these parts for JDM cars?" The response was something like "sorry we think it will fit USDM car but cant guarantee it. There is no returns for parts that dont fit" But the other half the time its not that bad.
