Impreza WRX STI backseat in a '93 Legacy

Post by RazorRoks »

Hello there guys,

I'va got a question. I've recently bought another Legacy, and it had a set of STI seats mounted in in, which fit in my Legacy without a problem, but it also came with a STI backseat, although not mounted.

My question is, will the backseat fit in my Legacy? Or with some modifications?

This is an example of the backseat:

Hi Razor, i have a gc8 back seat in my legacy sedan. It bolts in to the same places but there are gaps around the sides. Since i dont spend any time in the back seat it doesnt bother me.

Allright, so it's a direct bolt in? And arte the gaps noticable and huge? Do you maybe have a few pics?

The gaps arent noticeable when the doors are closed, but when open, you can see the sound deadening on either side. I wont be close to that car for another 10 days. apologies.

That's no problem mate! Thanks already for your help!

Soon, I'll try to fit it in and then I'll decide if I like it or not.

Yesterday I've put the backseat in my car, and it fits really nice! There are some gaps at the top of the seat, but that's not noticable, only if you're looking for them.

I'll post pictures soon.
