With a blue/grey interior they'd look great!

Why ? they are black :roll: Pic doesnt show colour well but they really are as black as Cathy Freeman. So comfortable. they will do until I can afford something better.

I think they look great. And IIRC not too much modding of the rails to get them to fit either.

yeah don't know that you need armrests with the worlds tallest console but retrim them in a tan? leather to match the rest because the shape looks great.

What happened to the original seats? they were great?

Yeah, didn't they have the "magic" touch?

Yes original seats looked great and are stored but I didnt like the fact that they were too hard. Fitting them was easy yes. I just cut the mounting brackets off a pair of old seats. Ground the mounting brackets off the Subaru seats and re-welded the old brakcets onto the subie rails. they bolted straight in. To be honest I didnt realise they had the folding arm rest when I bought them. Still they are incredibly comfortable and the look pretty smick in there with the black console. Incidently Mal those short shifters from the US are amazing. Very smooth and a very short action. thanks for the tip.

Hmm, the leather ones are, and get worse as they deteriorate. I'll be using the rails from my very crappy leather ones for my raceseats from the rally car. Then they can at least be adjusted to suit my short arse instead of fixed at the "6 foot plus big-bloke" position.

I have put the leather ones back in. they just look so much better and I sat a little too high in the subaru seats.

Is there room for lowering the original-seats or?
I'm one of those 6'+(?) (190cm) guys... and using a helmet on a trackday is not even close to possible...

V - you may need to consider a retrim (or partial retrim). My leather seats were hard and had shrunk to feel like trampolines. A retrim made them look better, but also felt 11ty times better. Now rate as a comfy seat.
