So I was at the local junk yard today and ran into a car and had a crazy idea of using the seats from it.
It was a SAAB 9000 turbo, and for those not familiar with them the seats are pretty baller!!!

What do you think ?
Im thinking of using the front seats obviously.

Unless you're getting these for an absolute steal... I think I would rather just throw in Supra seats which are a complete bolt-on affair. Not to mention you can pick up a set for around 300-400.
These DO look nice but it looks like it's electronically controlled. If you wanna retain that function, wiring will be a pain in the ***.
Otherwise, tackle the swap for the heck of it.

Well wiring wouldnt be too bad, fitment might be a slight issue, need measurements, but they are power , leather seats designed by Recaro, and they are very bucket like not to mention some of the most comfortable Ive ever been in. Supra seats are okay, but I can get a pair of these for about the same or less and Im pretty sure these are waaaay more comfy then the supra ones.

Seats look great, but i think they are a little bulky. Don't know if you can stuff those in the front or back, I bet this are comfy.
The only way I'd get rid of my seats if my power features went out or if my seats are shot.
No one has done quad seats in a sc, so you'd be the first!

That said those seats look nice enough to fall asleep in while driving. As stated earlier though, why not go with something bolt on? Seem a tad unecessary. Also, hows the color match up with the rest of your interior. Never know, might be a bit off.

Nice seats. Wiring is a snap - run a power wire and ground to each seat. Think about adding seat heaters if they don't have them.
If they fit in the space (measure first), you're biggest challenge will be mounting them. You might be able to cut he mounts off your stock seats and weld/bolt them to the new seats. There may be universal seat mount kits.
