No problem. My corbeau saga is ending. I asked them for a replacement if they could send me a proper product, and a refund if the poor products I received were indicative of their overall quality. They chose to give me a refund. I will just have to cover the cost of shipping the seat back.
Its also making this cracking sound every time I make a hard turn.

[QUOTE=DILLIGAF Racing]I replaced my STi seats with aftermarket sport seats. Its about the only way to get any lower. I will go look at my drivers seat, since its in my basement, and I will confirm this. HKS Kanjai make a bracket, but they will not guarantee (speeling) if they fit the USDM seats. Kind of a risky purchase in my eyes.[/QUOTE]
I just picked up a 03 wrx driver seat for my 05 STI. The 03 seats are more of a bucket style and also sit a good 2 inches lower than 05 STI seats!!! I know my bro has an 03 rex! STI seats look cool but they just plain suck. Why would you make a race car with crappy side bolsters and high center of gravity?
BTW im 6-3 215lb

[QUOTE=jr4jc]this cars only fault to me is the height of the seat. with a helmet i hit the ceiling. i have heard of a guy 6' 6" that had a bracket custom made to lower the seat a couple of inches. that is what i am setting out to do, anybody know anybody that has done this or can do this??????
i like the stock seats and the airbag....so i desire to keep the stock seats
thanks[/QUOTE]
Im not sure if that air bag is even a good idea for bigger people. In my 05 sti the air bag would basically be hitting me in my shoulder or arm not protecting my head at all. Without proper testing we'll never know just a thought I had.

ok i bit the bullet and bought the corbeau TRS wide seat w the lumbar support and put it in last night. well i should say i put in three bolts in last night. i will have to take it out and file one hole out which really is a pain after getting it all the way in there.
ALSO for those of us that are tall i bought this from the factory and they said they could 'shave it', they shave 1/2" off the bottom of the seat cushion also the head rest does not go over my head it hits about 3/4 the way to the top of my head, but is comfortable.
ALSO with the wide seat the seat belt female part is way down hard to get a hold of, and is tight to the console, i will try to change that to a longer female part when i take the seat out to file the hole bigger,
the HOLE problem- unless i am mistaken the problem is going to be common to all who put this seat bracket in an sti, and maybe wrx's too. the rear inside hole does not go far enough to the back of the car, so if any wanted they may want to file that prior to putting it in the car. it is the lowest spot in the slot and needs filed a little towards the rear of the car.
i just drove around the block but it is a totally different feel in the car, i am sitting in it not on it, the lumbar support is simple but feels pretty good. material feels a little cheaper than the stock seat but comfortable.
will try to attach pics, if not able too, it lowers me a good 2-3" enough for a better feel and i can put the helmet on and not bump the roof which was my ultimate goal, now i can drive with a helmet without slouching down in an odd position!!!

Im 6 2 1/2" 215lbs with an 05 STI. My Bro has a 03 wrx and ever since I got my 05 STI I noticed how much lower and better fitting his seats were when compared to my STI seats. When I have a helmet on in my STI if I sit up super sraight I can easily pin my head to the roof, not a good feeling. So last week I finally bit the bullet and picked up an 03 WRX seat for my STI.
The 03 WRX seat is more of a "bucket" which lowers you significantly. I now fit much better in my STI. I can also see through my STI wing much better now.

update on the trs corbeau seat, did not have to take it out to get that 4th bolt to thread, i have a bigger than me freind that is a mechanic, i got in the seat facing backwards and kneed the inside corner down and back and he pushed hard but finally got the bolt threaded and the seat is in, i am amazed what a couple of inches does to your perspective when driving, i am loving it, and have to get used to it, can't wait to see what the track will be like---driving without having to scoot down in the seat so the helmet doesn't hit the roof. ;)
PLUS i no longer have a huge blind spot due to the rear view mirror, i can see under it.
there is a little flex in the seat when you hit the gas, but not bad, and again i got the wide seat and it barely fits in but does, i would HIGHLY reccomend getting a longer female seat belt receiver before you take the old seat out. that is driving me nuts, probably will pull the seat out to change it!!!
for the money i am loving this seat, got the lumbar support that looks chincy but works great, is very comfortable and supportive!!!

dilligaf - did you get the wide seat or the regular trs corbeau seat.
this wide is a perfect fit for me, and i had it shaved an extra 1/2" which is not noticeable, it is very comfortable, now can i complain that it is to low and harder to get in and out of----naaa i won't go there i am LOVING it!!!!! i need the ab's excercise.

| DILLIGAF Racing | 09-20-2005 03:53 PM |
yeah, I have the wide version. I never thought of shaving it, but mine got screwed up on the one side bolster. I talked with Corbeau, they were all ready to replace it, until they gave me to the Customer Rep. from Hell, and he was not too keen on the idea. So I will never buy Corbeau again. I'm a big guy, and I think this is a perfect seat. Better bolstering than the stock seat, and I sit lower/further from the wheel. I do have problems getting out of the car now (my B-pillar trim can confirm this).
| nate.the.great | 09-20-2005 04:36 PM |

I just replaced my '02 WRX seats with '04 STi seats. I pulled a bolt head through the left slider and a spring broke in the seat back.
There is a huge difference. I now sit on the seat instead of in it. Hard cornering now has me using my elbows and knees to keep me in position. With the WRX seats, I couldn't see any of the hood. With the STi seats, I can see a good two inches of hood. The steering wheel is now too low and I'm sitting too high. It feels like I'm driving my Mom's Forester XT (aka tractor style).
I looked to see if it was possible use the WRX bracket on the STi seat. I compared the seat brackets and there isn't that much difference in height. Maybe a half inch. The brackets are different and not interchangeable.
On the WRX drivers seat, the left-side, rear bracket, has a hole in it which slides over a stud on the seat base and is held in-place with a nut.
On the STi seat, the same left-side, rear bracket, has a nut welded on the bracket and a huge bolt (with a torx-like socket-head) screws through the seat base into the bracket.
To me, it doesn't seem possible to use the WRX bracket on the STi seat. If you were to get it to work, the height difference would be minimal.
Like another post'er said, I believe the height difference is in the actual seat and not the bracket.

| jr4jc | 09-23-2005 12:29 PM |
i love the 2005 sti seats look and feel [although at my size i was sitting ON the bolsters] but gave up on lowering them and bought the TRS corbeau seat, in the wide format with the lumbar support, and am very pleased, it sits VERY low compared to stock. it is a little cheaper made and a little cheaper price than most, if an when it wears out i will probably go with a sparco or recaro, but i am thrilled to sit IN a seat and see under the rearview mirror, and not hit my helmet on the ceiling. it was a little awkard to get in, material is very comfortable to sit on. my biggest complaints are as stated earlier,
with the wide seat i would opt for a longer female seat reciever, and the last bolt was a bugger to get lined up and in. i did not need to file but some have said that they did ahve to. and i hate to say it but lower like it is it is a little harder to get in and out of the car, but hey i need the abs workout anyway.

I've been uncomfortable for a while (I'm 6'8" and 260lbs), so I think I'm going to go with either the Cobra Suzuka GT or Sparco Evo XL to give me more head room (but still fit my butt). As you can see, I'm a little stuffed:

6'10" - Got yah beat. About 215 lbs, too, so I'm anything but Portly....
I've got a set of V6 seats in my "GC" wagon now. With a friend's help, we modded the metal seat base w/o chopping up anything else. Got me down where I needed to be, though it's at most an inch lower than before. Doubt I could wear a helmet comfortably.
Next part of the project is figuring out how to raise the height of the seatback in relation to the seat base. For those of you who've sat in V6 seats, you know that they are exTREMELY supportive, which can be a problem if the support is in places that are designed for very short people...
If I want the seat any lower, it looks pretty simple to just cut off the rear mounting tabs on the bottom of the rails and weld them on "higher", thus pushing the seat lower.

scobby ru let us know if you get either of those seats and what you think. i thought hard about the evo's and kind of wish i had gotten them, but htere were none around to sit in and feel the seat and the height change and sparco told me it would not change the height much, but i think they were giving me a pat answer so as not to be in trouble with airbags/height change/safety type stuff

i guess im the only one that tried stretching the seat bottom springs to drop the bottom cushion? I used channel-lock pliers and slightly pulled, pryed, and stretched the 3? springs underneath the seat and gained about 0.5" of headroom.
I also added foam bolsters on the sides by your ribs. You can slightly see the bulges in the pic above

i got corbeaus trs seats and they fell apart, they did honor the warranttee but i had to pay shipping, i decided to go with a fixed back racing seat intead and swap the stock out from time to time, they sent me a wide fixed back racing seat--forza 2 it fits in the same brackets as the trs as long as i don't want to put it in the car, anyway sent that seat back and got a full refund and then bought a roll bar from auto power and scroth quick fit harness, with the harness i do not hit my helmet on the ceilng and my back is not in an aweful position. i still would love to lower this stock seat an 1 or 2.

Well, I bit the bullet and replaced my seats with those from an 02 WRX. I sit much lower now, and find the bolstering to be much more supportive, but yet more comfortable due to softer foam used. Unfortunately, the drivers seat has a weird "hole" near my tailbone, where there doesnt seem to be enough cushioning. Anyone experience that at all?
| wrx-boy | 03-13-2007 05:39 PM |
Back from the dead!! Anyone come up with anything yet to lower the stock us seats? I've been trying to get in touch with Myles from RaceComp to no avail. yet.
I'm in the need to lower boat and am doing a ton of research too. HKS Kansai seem to be the best option but need modification to work.

i love the head room, the evo 2 plus was too narrow
the XL is perfect but if my inseam was longer than 32" i'd be in trouble, it hits the b pillar.
VERY comfortable seat.

something something about it not working with the usdm seats.

Definitely does not work with the US seats. Those are bottom mount brackets and the stock seats do not have bottom mount holes. They are on the side. If you have EVO recaro's or other Recaro seat yes they would work.

Nevermind, I got more info, and the idea I had doesn't work, seems HKS may be the only option

Back from the dead... I wanna lower my STi driver seat.

Well I've heard that swapping WRX seats into older GC cars raises the seat height and that the WRX padding can be swapped onto GC rails for use in an older car. I'm going to try to do this to some older GC rails and my 02 WRX front seat. It's been something I've been planning for months but havent gotten around to it yet, when its done I'll post up here.

Dead thread bump - I wonder if the rails are different between 02 and 04. Mine are JDM Ver8 so they are equivalent to 04, and I didn't want the Ver7 because it's too tight on the shoulder. I have sat in a Ver7 in a GC before but I already forgot if they are lower than Ver8 in a GC

ok i have been looking into this also....
i have heard that the rails from the older impreza's like 01 and older will swap onto the newer seats and will sit lower... have not had a chance to verify but i have heard this...
my second venture was i talked to wedge engineering... the sales guy there said they didnt have anythign but if you take your sliders off and give them the measurments they ask for on their website he could see if our stock seats will match up to an aftermarket rail and they would drill them for it... i live in georgia and if itt would work it was only gonna cost 250 shipped so its not a bad thing to look into
