2.5 RS Seats

Post by originalcyn »

I've been tossing around the idea of doing 2.5rs seats. I like them better than the wrx seats that i've see because they're slightly more subtle. I know lots of people have done the front seats, but i was wondering if any one has done the backs.

I saw these ones on craigslist: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/2541698803.html

I thought it might be nice to do. But, if the fronts sit high like the wrx seats, then I probably won't do it, since I feel like I'd hit the ceiling if the seats were any higher.

Backs fit better than the fronts. If I remember right they sit at about the same height as the stock Legacy seat at it's lowest setting, it's not more than a tiny bit higher if anything because if it was I would have never given them a chance.

I don't like them though personally, they give no more support than the SS seat and are harder. I had them for a month or two then sold them.

Awesome, thanks for the input. Was it difficult to swap in the fronts? I have an ls, so i'm not really sure how my seats are different than the ss seats.

I have a set in my family wagon. They bolt right in. Only necessary change is the female end of the seatbelt.
They don't have a whole lot of lateral support, though. Enough less than I was expecting to be a bit disappointed.

Ok, thanks! Yeah, I wouldn't mind a set, the look much nicer than the stock LS seats, but that being said i guess, black leather seats and a blue interior might look funny.

I had 2.5rs seats in the front and they make me hit my head on the roof, I am on the taller side though (6'2").

That being said you can have my grey cloth fronts for 60 bucks.

legacylok, thanks for the offer, but i'll probably just end up with sticking with what i have interior wise.
