Seats?

[soobmater]

I've been wanting some seats for my lifted wagon.. Right now im in the process of redoing the interior basically.. I've ripped most of the carpet out, and i want to replace the front seats.. The reason im ripping the carpet out is because it was really wet and soggy and starting to mold..and plus im going to put bedliner down instead..

 

Would these seats work in my car??

I like the fact that they can't get ruined from mud and water.. And plus they are cheap, and 4 point harnesses sound cool..

Short answer is yes, but custom brackets may be needed. Question is why go hard plastic when you have padding?

^^waterproof. I considered doing something similar.

 

on the right side of that page, they've got links to some universal brackets. I don't see any that would be a direct bolt-in, but it would be a start.

 

but whatever you do, chances are good that some fabrication will be required on the brackets.

I plan on removing my carpet also, but if you need waterproof seats.....thats too wet:rolleyes: Are you going to be wearing a bathing suit too?

Its just i dont want to put in a nice set of seats, then up and ruin them.. Im really short on money lately, and i'd hate to waste it by buying something nice then just ruining it.. I'll just order the universal brackets and seats, and make it fit, then i'll fit you guys in on how i made them fit.. I was just wondering about the size of the seat themselves..

It might be cheaper to buy some of those off-road vinyl seat covers. I would rather wheel in comfort than have a rash from hard plastic seats.

Just another sign of old age I guess:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure those seats don't come with any mounting brackets at all, just four holes in a 'universal' location on the bottom. You may be able to remove the brackets from the bottom of your Subie seats and install them on those, but I'm not familiar with Subaru seats as of yet. I know for my VW I had to fabricate brackets when putting in similar (but padded) seats.

 

Just a thought - those hard seats are going to KILL your tailbone the first time you hit a boulder or something. Consider the cheappie APC seats - they have bolsters, four-point harness holes, and only cost $100.

 

THIS IS FACT: if you're going to be driving your car on the road, and I mean at all, the only four-point harness that is FMVSS 207 and 210 approved (read: street legal AND safe) is made by Schroth. DON'T go installing an RCI harness or similar then drive your rig to mud runs or the grocery store. A 30 mph crash with a standard 'racing' four point harness WILL cause internal injuries. They are only intended for autoX and similar, nothing high speed. All they do is hold you into the seat firmly while you put your car through the paces, thus they would be great off road. On road, they'll kill you. Schroth is deisgned for road use, offered as an option on all european BMW's, act the same in every day use as the other four-points (hold you down firm), and are legal. Check out their website, watch the videos. You'll see.

 

Or go with a five-point with the anti-submarine strap that is used in high speed racing, and wear a cup every time you drive or ... well ... you get the idea.

 

Good luck with this modification. I think you'll find it to be more rewarding than you expect, as a bolstered seat an harness make driving sooooo much nicer. But hard seats will give you a brused rump roast
