yep my friend has a set. im 5'8 186lbs and they fit good. nothing too agressive the sides hold you enough.. obvously nothing like bride or recaro seats but they do a good job.

Update the OP. Decided on SRDs or OEM JDM STI seats. In short...

- Cant decide between V7 or V8 JDM STI seats.
- JDM seats come out of a RHD car so the passenger will actually be sitting on the driver seat.
- The SRD's in Suede Blue are about $1800 for the set the JDM seats are only about $600 and those include mounts.
- Are the JDM seats really that much better then oem?
- What about all black SRD's and swap to WRX interior?

the jdm vs usdm sti seat comparison is night and day, i dont know why you dont seem to want to believe it lol

as for interior matching, if it is that crucial to you, i know someone wanting to do a full interior swap. and he has full black wrx interior.

LOL!

I know, it just seems like the look the same as the USDM ones. I just need to sit in them to prove myself wrong.

I definitely might be interested in swapping with them as long as the interior is as clean as mine is and non smoker. Then i get my black SRDs

Check out OP, i narrowed down the seat after a lot of research. I am leaning strongly towards the Status Rings. I can get the all blue cloth for 675 shipped a piece. But i really am leaning towards a custom design to match my STI interior.
