Wow you're a tall guy! The supra seats do go more with the SC's interior but I would change it up a little and go with the A4s.

LOL I'm out for touch. I'm seeing A4, thinking Audi. Also thinking, yea
A4 seats are OK, but why not pop for the newer S4 seats.

What it boils down two is making you the driver comfortable. Figure out if you need aggressive bolsters for racing, or if you just want the leg room. Find out what is easiest to mount. Most importantly do something different that you don't see one of us doing on this forum... be original.

Supra... My friend with a supra had his re-wrapped, and they look great, also the electrical adjustments make them superior + their vip look.

Default Saw the seats....

saw the seats the other day...look like 96+ seats (fixed head rest) so those should yield a tad more head room than the older style seats. Guy at the shop says that they came from a previous SC owner who said they were too uncomfortable for him, not too much of a problem for me though!!

im thinking about purchasing the seats later today. I think they might be worth it....still not as sweet as the two 15th anniversary edition supras in the shop....ooooooo......

Default Pic of the Seats!!

they look a little ratty, but they are getting restored slowly. The seats are in pieces in my garage. The plastic sides are getting painted tommorow to match the black interior. Still waiting on a price quote from Leather Seats.com.

sc seats weigh a ton, What do supra seats weigh? If the supra seats are a direct bolt in I would say they look better.

I want Supra seats so bad, but every time I find an affordable pair they're on the coast somewhere.

There was a guy selling black leather ones in the FS section here I think?

There are a set of black 97-98 seats in the FS section, in Maryland. You could always resell the tan ones.

Thanks Gunnar, but I'm already in the process of converting the tan seats into black ones. Already painted the plastc sidings. Thanks for the offer though!

I just got a reply from the LeatherSeats.com sales rep. He said about 579+shipping which would add to about $600 (not as bad as i first thought, but still a bit of an ouch).
