supra driver seat is electric, but it lacks memory seating capabilities, power lumbar, and power height adjust. the supra passenger seat is not power at all and only goes forward and backward along the bracket with a recline lever.

when I had both of the seats next to one another, I figured it would be possible (though not easy) to retrofit the memory seat components from the SC seat to the Supra seat.

This would involve pretty much an entire tear down of the SC seat, tracing the wiring to each control box and then fitting everything under the Supra seat. Again, it seemed possible when I was down there.

I definitely recommend the Supra seats. THey are much more supportive on the lower back (though less so on the butt), and the ride height presents me (at 6'3") with tons of headroom. The interior feels twice as big from those 2-3" of seat height differential.

they make the stock seats feel like an upright chair.

the Supra seats still have about 1-2" of dial height adjust. mine are on the lowest setting. At the highest, it is close to (but still a good inch) lower than stock.

ClubLexus - Classifieds
Supra Forums - Classifieds

There are many more sources you just have to be patient and look around. These things pop up every now and then. My best recommendation for you would be the Supra forums. They have more than one Classifieds section AND these seats are found on a Supra. Happy hunting.

Supra seats are sweet as far as sitting low and whatnot but they remind me of a nice big ***** style seat... lol

I have Supra seats in my SC and the black leather Corbeau in my Z32TT.

Corbeau is more supportive but not comfortable even with lumbar support.
Supra seats sit low but it's tolerable and comfortable.
Get supra seats unless you are going to autocross your SC.
