Hey guys,

I may be able to get some of these seats and was wondering if anyone was interested. The only thing is that they are 24" long and would require the Boyd tank to fit or the front bar to come out (Which I' not recommending here as I'm not sure of the issues that this may or may not cause). They are really nice and comfortable and made from a high quality simulated leather with a mesh insert. They come out of a smart car. This one had the airbag blown out but most are still intact. I wish I could put them in my car but I have the batteries behind the seat so only have the stock 22" in length available.

nice find on the width, but doesn't look like they have a ton of side support. i was actually eyeballing some BRZ or FR-S seats as a future option, but need to get some measurements first and am going to stick to the WRX seats for initial install.

since you've got it in front of you, how is the side support? always good to have more options.

I'm using the stock seats now too, I was planning on recovering them in leather and installing the seat heaters that I bought.

These popped up on me while looking for something else on Amazon.com

They look like they have good bolsters, are real leather, and include sliders for $360 a pair!
