Hi guys,
So I finally got sick of the metal bar digging into my back and the collapsed springs making me sit like a grandma behind steering wheel and decided it was time to sort things out. I didn't like my chances of finding decent L series seats so went with something a little newer and could not be happier!
SG9 Forester seats are a very good fit and look great too IMO. Fitment was not too hard either. The front 2 brackets on the SG9 seats already line up pretty much, one only needed a slight bend and the other cut shorter with a new hole drilled. The rear brackets were totally different so I cut them off the rails and welded the brackets from the old seats on, and that was pretty much all there was to it.
They do sit a fair bit higher as well, not too much though, although if I wind the seat height adjuster right up my head is almost touching the roof :lol:
Wish I did this years ago!
Cheers,
ratters
