nipper Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 If i remeber correctly, you cant swap left to right. I think almost any of them from 95-99 and maybe even newer will fit. Remember these are giant leggos nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYeti Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think almost any of them from 95-99 and maybe even newer will fit. Remember these are giant leggos nipper Correct. The only thing different is the seat belt mount and notch thingys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreb10 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You may want to consider seat rebuilding as an alternative. I had the same problem with my recently acquired 1998 Legacy L wagon. The driver's seat padding was toast. I could not find a used seat of the same vintage that did not have the same problem to a greater or lesser extent. I ended up removing the seat and taking it to an auto upholstery shop where they rebuilt the padding, and added some much needed lumbar support. It cost me $140 but the seat is now quite comfortable and good for another 100K miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C150867 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Do I just remove the rails, how does the seat back recliner lever work, it will be on the inside beside the console, or am I looking at it wrong. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_25 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have had both seats out of my subie ('99 OBW) and you should be able to take the seats off the seat rails and just swap them if you dont mind the back lever being on the right. The only problem i could see is if you have seats with the hight adjustment mechanism. The way that is attached to the seat rails makes it near impossible to get off and then the seat rails would be incompatible left to right.

C150867 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I tried swithching from left to right, they won't change, the seat back lever is in the way of the seat belt receiver, unless I'm doing something wrong, any suggestions Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Seats are pretty interchangeable. I just installed a '03 WRX front driver's seat in our '91 Legacy wagon. It bolted right in. I also use a WRX seat in our '97 Impreza; only thing is I had to move the seat belt receptable over to it since the belts are not compatible. I see WRX front seats in good condition for around $200 on nasioc all the time. Really nice ones go for a bit more. I bought one set for $50 since the bolster had a two inch tear in it. My sweet wife did a great job sewing a patch in place after I stuffed more foam into the bolster. You can't even see the patch if you don't look closely. Just a clarification: I didn't mean switch left and right seats; I put WRX seats into both my Legacy wagon and Impreza wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 They will not switch in a 97 legacy wagon, I tried no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C150867 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 do you mean the 03 seats won't fit in a 97 legacy, and is it just a easy swap to change seat belt receivers Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
