and from what I remember they sit somewhat lower than the standard SC seats. I've been told the Honda S2000 seats are pretty much a better bet than the Supra seats, but I haven't checked it out to be certain...

The supras are bolt in and i believe the S2000 are also. You have to change the connectors if you want to use the electric functions on the supra seat, but it still works. Ive gone to buckets(Recaro SPG) and i couldnt be happier

I sat in them in D's Sc400 ... they feel nice and sit lower allowing better headroom.. They are much lighter as well... I believe around 35# per seat.. stock seats weigh over 75#

I have 94 supra setas and they are lighter (roughly half the weight) of my heated/powered seat. They are powered on the drivers and manual on the passengers. Before the supra seat i TRIED to install the s2000 seats. They are not direct bolt in. Only 1 bolt fits straight in all the other three need to be modified by a few inches. The rear also needs to be lifter w/ washers as the seat ins't perfectly flat against out floor pan. I love the supra seats and they are much more supportive then the stockers. They will also be about 1" lower for you taller drivers.
