In Topic: Subaru Impreza GJ seat swap

05 September 2019 - 09:04 AM

Yeah mate, dont want to get any sparco, bride etc to avoid the airbag issue. I live in townsville so it's hard to source GJ seats. I'm looking to just swap them for seats with good support. The standards dont really work for me anymore. Delivery is so bloody expensive up here also. I guess I will have to keep on looking. Would be nice to get STI seats but.

I was looking at GP90s but I don't want to go the ricer path lol. Anyway I'd love to hear if there is anyone on the forum that has swapped GJ seats. I'm guessing you would also.

Cheers

Pretty sure should be fine within model. 08-13 impreza and 08-12 forester are pretty interchangeable.




Hiya Niko,

Do you have any idea what would be interchangeable for my model?

.. looking for straight swap, without mods as the OEM seats in mine are pretty unsupportive in corners.

Cheers

So, the reason you can find a Whiteline rear sway bar and not a front bar is because your rear suspension setup is shared amongst most Subarus. Your multilink rear suspension is the same as an SH forester, 08+ WRX/STi and even BRZ. 
 
But front sway bars are a bit more complicated, if you look on Whitleine website you will see how odd shaped some of them can be, and they differ from model to model. 
 
Obviously very little demand for a front sway bar for your particular model, also not much need. On an AWD a rear sway bar upgrade is helpful but I doubt you'd need to upgrade the front. 


Ok thanks, interesting. The thing that stumps me is I see there is front bars available for other NA Imprezas available. I'm also not sure if mine comes with an OEM factory front bar. (I know the rear does)

My local suspension store said they can make a custom front bar. But if I can't get a ready made one, or like you say it wouldn't serve much purpose for my model (even though there is other NA impreza front bars available) I won't bother.

I think i will buy this above model bar and attempt an install, looks like best bang for buck for me.

Thanks again. .
