WRX or STi Seat Swap - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

im2fr-s · 11-04-2013, 06:21 PM

Anyone know if the WRX or STi seats are plug and play in a BRZ/FR-S? Did a search (on here and on Google) with no answers.

Our seats have much better lateral support compared to the WRX. I would think it is a downgrade. Not sure if they're plug and play, sorry.

Hated the seats on the sti limited

Our seats are significantly nicer. My friend has a 2013 WRX and the seats are so shitty in comparison to ours. The bolsters everywhere on the seat are much sloppier as well.

If anything.. I'd swap with evoX recaros.. Omggggggggg those seats

my cousin drives a 2011 wrx and he praises the seats in my FR-S.

this would be interesting if the seats are interchangeable with other subaru cars

my mate wants my 86 seats for his liberty/legacy

where theres a will theres a way

It won't fit.

Don't do it. I hated the seats on my STI - they don't belong in that car to be honest. FR-S seats are much better. One of my all-time favorites actually - they strike an ideal balance IMO.

Unless your gonna swap for seats from a bugeye, dont. Subaru seats suck

im2fr-s · 11-05-2013, 02:23 PM

I drive a lot and I'm a pretty big guy. After awhile, I HATE the FR-S seats. The bolsters eventually feel like I'm being punched in the kidney by Mike Tyson himself. I had wrx seats and 2 different sets of STi seats and although not near as supportive for the track, they were much more comfortable for long(er) drives.

I found a guy local who has a 13 wrx, I'm going to take some measurements and see what happens.

Not a direct fit, and its downgrade in my opinion.
