Seats in teh BA?

Interested in replacing one if not both of my front seats from my 2005 WRX (they are just too big for a skinny guy like me, I float in them).

Anybody know of a shop around that stock a bunch of seats I can sit in? Looks like MPJ has a few, but that all I see...

The shop at Infineon Raceway carries Sparco. They have a ton of models you can check out.

Gruppe-S carries Recaro and Sparco now too (in addition to Bride). If you want to sit in them though, the only place to go is Conversion Techniques (9845 Bigge St. Oakland)

the stock 02-03 seats hold you in better and are narrower. i'll trade you straight up for both front seats

Hrrmm, I'll probably be down there Sat, so maybe I'll give Preston a ring and see if they do in fact have them. I bet that was a buttload for them, being the JDM hotness and all.

That would be perfect....the combo of the fabric and small size my be perfect for a skinny guy like me. I get thrown around on my 05 seats at the track, and that blue suede does look super hot.

When replacing seats, you want light weight too, especially if you autox...

Matt - We do have a pair of JDM V8 front & rear seats with the pass through but I won't be in this Sat. (going down to Buttonwillow)

Any of the other sales guys here can show you them

I do AutoX, but I do it mostly for fun, not be be competitive. Hell, I threw a mostly non functional V8 STi wing on my car, which certainly adds weight and no AutoX performence. I often (ask Rob or Ed) run with my bike rack on top! I'm not concerned about weight.


I will head down to Gruppe-S on Sat and take a look at those seats.
