Does anyone know if i'll be able to put the seats from a WRX MY00 into a BA Astina? Cos i'm looking to put the front and back seats into my car, something in the near future.

if you can put recaros in etc... you will need to adapt the rail to suit most likely, it won't be a bolt in thing

i have put recaros in my car. not an easy job todo properley without the right tools. first thing you need to know is that the astinas have an uneven floorplan and the stock seats to match. if the WRX seats are a flat base it shouldnt be too hard to have proper rail spacers made up to suit however it will cost you serious $$ even more if the rex seats have an uneven base i can imagine fitting new rear seats to the astina being a nightmare as well but one can only try i guess :)

yeah thats the whole reason why i want them, when you sit on them they just fit all snug, and hold you in place when to take corners fast, and when you boost it takes alot of the force.

Well, after spending 4 hours cramed into a Cessna 150 cockpit, ANYTHING fells pretty damn comfortable. I find the SP23 seat are quite nice though.
