Steptoe Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 For the ease of translation I am going to use my left seat from 93-2000 Impreza to ask questions Having done a few not so straightforward seats into EA81 before - I think I see these as another The inboard slider rail looks OK but the outer !! is there a step by step 101 on dealing with this task? How much of Impreza slider goes? How much EA81 stays? Additional materials? i am looking and thinking ...if only I could take the pressed metal arse bucket of the Impreza and make it fit my EA81 to do away with egg slicer like wire support springs any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman2 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) I installed 04 Impreza RS seats in my Brat back in 2005. Or was it 03 seats in 04, can't remember exactly but last year without the side air bags I believe. Not sure if your older model Impreza seats are the same. Inside rail front tab was a straight bolt in. Inside rear I cut some off the back of the rail to shorten it, drilled it and bolted it into the side of the transmission tunnel. I think it was where the seat belt bolts to. Outside front tab had to have a piece of metal added and drilled so it would hit the factory hole. Seems like the back I had to drill out the hole to the inside to make it hit the factory mount hole. Also had to add three or so washers to raise it a little too.

Steptoe Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Thanks for going to efforts here , I stumbled upon a good reason to go for a free scrap metal disposal trailer run and these went in it - but only after a pair of Suzuki Swift 2007? seats went in with minimal effort. These are not satisfactory though, so it will be time to visit the idea of refurbishing the originals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
