These things just look way too cool, they also look suspiciously like GD WRX seats. So maybe supportive?

Does anybody know, would these fit? Most likely to sit high like GD seats?

Since their JDM seats the height adjustment will be on the passenger side. They probably won't fit perfectly in your Legacy, but I believe others have done the swap and may be able to provide more feedback on the specific differences.

Those have been for sale forever! I like the look of them though. Fronts bolt in no prob, but as josh mentioned, no height adjustment for US driver side. Rears simply won't work.

Are they supportive? Well, more so than worn out 1st gen legacy seats. But they don't hold a candle to WRX or STI seats, either Japanese or American. Bottom cushions aren't designed for it. Well unless someone was really slender, but had an enormous rear end ;)
