Default newage sti seats into 2 door type r

hi,will 2002 uk sti seats go into a type r?,i know they bolt straight in,but will they still slide etc for passengers to access the cack seats(as it only a 2 door)?
so will they still operate the same as my v4 sti type r seats?
quick response much appriciated.

They won't slide unless you swap the runners assuming that you can. Newage seats often sit a few inches higher in classics and I know a few people struggle with that.

If they are like my bug seats they will tilt forward, but probably not as far as your type r seats

I had newage seats in my classic and couldn't stand them. Felt like I was driving a bus. They're too high. Changed back to classic seats in the end.
