Where is a good place to buy aftermarket seats? I've been wanting to do it for a while, I just don't know where to look.

Recaro FTW,
yes they are expensive, but if you plan to spend any significant amounts of time driving your car, you will quickly find they are worth every penny

did the stock STI seat mod, and I'll say it definitely helped.

Is it an aftermarket seat, NO.

but I just can't bring my self to buy/install an aftermarket seat without a side airbag. just me i suppose, but I can't give up that safety margin. I believe in my driving skills enough (i don't drive stoopid on the streets) i just don't trust other drivers.

my $0.02.

I would love to install some EVO seats in my car if ONLY i could figure a way to have those airbags work too/splice into the subie factory SAB harness.

p.s.I'm 5'4" and i definitely slide around the seats when driving hard...

yeah i'm just

I hated the sliding of the Stock STi seats, my solution was to track down a set of V7 seats . BEST PURCHASE EVER. I've yet to have anyone dislike the seats and even people I know that don't really care about cars compliment the seats.

I'm 5'6'' 155lbs. Sure, I've got a beer belly going, but damn I'm still sliding all over the place on my OEM seats. LOL my '07 Civic Si held me better, and that was so-so to start with.

As soon as someone figures out how to do the wiring to keep the side airbags working, I'll ****** some Evo X MR seats. Those things were very very nice.
