Yea would have to agree. Only draw back is if you do run a aftermarket seat which is not equipped with the airbag/srs harness, I believe the airbags won't deploy.

But unless you have a harness that is mounted corectly and you wear your harness everywhere, which is a pain. Would then the aftermatket seat would be "safe" enough on the street.

Yes rescuers seat are sexy!

When I swapped my old RS seats with Hatteroo's old bugeye WRX seats. The difference in the way it hugged was pretty good, even for a USDM seat. Although, that ugly *** blue pattern on the seats matches with nothing in my car. LOL.

I sat in my buddies Evo IX, and I decided then that I HAD TO HAVE his seats....well not his specifically, but I was tempted lol.

They are a great seat. Firm, they sit lower, they actually hold you, better leg and side bolstering, yet they are not so aggressive that they put your legs to sleep.

Despite my previous posts...I don't believe you sir...would you mind bringing your STi to texas for me to drive?

If you want GC and not picky you can usually check with J-hot Imports. They're on ebay and have 2 warehouses with 1 in TX and the other GA I think. I've ordered from them a few times and they're very helpful and sometimes have the gc seats. I had the red/black tiger print and they were awesome and CHEAAAAAAP too

STi seats supposedly run about $80 each in JDM land, and my buddy is in the navy so he can ship them through the base

Nice seats... I want to change mine but I'm not going to do it unless I can get the seat sensor to still work on the aftermarket.
