JDM STI Recaro's vs AUSDM WRX STI recaro's

Postby nickk__is » Wed Jan 30, 2013 11:48 am

Hey guys,

This is more of a thread I should probably post on rexnet, but for the mean time I'll post here incase anyone has useful information.

Curious about the difference between JDM STI recaro's like mick's (DR20T) and the AUSDM wrx sti recaro's.
Are there differences? if there are what are they?

maybe mick can help me out on this one...

thanks guys.

They're a completly different seat from what i understand. Different shape, different bolstering, different material... which year are you referring to Nick?

Should of been more specific, I'm comparing against aus 08+ sti seats, compared to I presume same year jdm. They certainly look very similar...

I dream of doing this swap most nights!
After sitting in my mates MY12 STi, they are chalk and cheese :cry:

Our seats are horrible through the twisty stuff or even an aggressive corner in town!
mod -> tune -> drive -> get bored -> repeat...
