Celica Seats? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I don't have really any experience in interior modifications, so I don't really know if this would be possible, but how hard would it be to put 7th gen Celica seats in an frs. I really prefer them to the frs seats. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I wasn't able to figure this out just from some quick searches around.

Just unbolt them and try it out. It might just be as simple as making a bracket with some sheet metal. Some bolts might line up. I doubt they will sit as low though.

I put Celica GTS seats in my integra and GT seats in my Tacoma... and it will take custom work and welding to fab up mounts for the seat. I can't believe you like the Celica seats over the FR-S ones though... even though the celica driver's one is adjustable in the seat pan angle/height it still is no more comfortable than the FR-S and provides less support. You would be sitting a little higher as well. And they are pretty heavy in comparison to the FR-S seats...

I was sliding all around in those celica seats in the integra...leather was not a good choice lol! The cloth ones in the Tacoma were better, but still not great.

The modded drivers side cloth GT for the Tacoma:

The leather GTS's in the integra:

I know the celica ones were dirt cheap (which is why I got them), but really they are like most every other stock vehicle seat in that they are not great at all for comfort and support. Why not get an older used Recaro ergonomic seat off Ebay, will require the same amount of work to mount but will be a much, much, much better seat. Your body will thank you.

It really might just be that I love my Celica, honestly. The capabilities the frs seats have are definitely superior, but when I test drove it I just didn't feel too thrilled with them. When I test drove the Celica I own I instantly loved the seats, both how they feel and how they look. I'm sure I'd get used to the feel of the frs ones but I really don't like how they look. I've never much cared for that look for racing seats. I doubt I'd in the end put Celica seats in it, but I just wanted to know how possible it would be. Thanks a ton!

Recaros from a BRZ ts...

I actually thought I was the only one!
I found my Celica seats to be more comfortable in terms of thigh support/bolstering.
In fact, the first couple months I had the BRZ, as much as I loved driving it, my knee never felt quite comfortable in any position (I've since adapted, but it still feels ever so slightly "off")

I was looking at this too. I like cloth seats>>>alcantara. They don't fit. Tried it at pick n pull.
