What you got at the mo? There are a few sets of the red/grey/blue ones out of STi 5's and 6's on e-bay at the mo.

I have a set in my classic.

I changed the ones in my old classic for some out of a 2005 scoob. They were a good bit higher up, but I found them more comfy. But, now I've got rid of the classic, and got a bug, the driving position is better.

I think it is a worthwhile upgrade tbh, freshens up the interior, and updates it a bit too.

i like them in my classic, agreed higher up, but after a while it becomes normal.

i had a jdm 94 sti, seats were very light, changed to recaro, electric seats from another model, cant remeber - these weighed double imo. then the sti 8 were an inbetween, but not much over the standard , i think lol

all from a terrible memory lol

Newage seats are lardy and wider, also higher.

OK in the newage cars, but not for me, not in a classic anyway

Not something I plan on doing for a while but thought I'd ask anyway as ifi it doesn't work out I'll just find a nicer set of classic seats out of a P1 or something

thank you in advance
I have two front blob eye seats with runners for sale.. only fifty new pounds for a quick sale

Classic seats are far more comfy and supportive than newage STI seats, blob wrx seats are better to sit in than STI seats. Just my opinion.

I had a set of sti 8 blue front seats in my classic,
Only lasted a week and changed them back, As its been said you sit higher and i felt it ruined the feel of the car it was numb and couldn't feel what was going on.
I am 6ft 2 and nearly had my head on the roof even with the seat right down.
Just my 2 pence

They are less supporting than decent classic seats, being bigger all round.
