SOG33K Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 As the title says what's the best seats for the Starlet? Whether they are factory seats or aftermarket what fits the best and what is the easiest conversion. They have to be reclining like the factory ones to pass registration and more of a bucket seat. I have a nice set of retrimmed factory ones but was thinking WRX or R32 GTR seats. Quote
Matt1878 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Brides / Recaro's etc.. Just get genuine EP91 rails to match and your off..I have Evo 6 recaros in my starlet and there great Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I have some evo 6 seats for sale... Couple of rails off browner and you'll be away Quote
Gainzy Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 It's the rails that are a pain can't go wrong with recaro's just finding a decent pair all the well kept one's are pricey spent a couple months searching couldn't find much. Sparco's are good priced.. Quote
GlanzaV33 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I got Evo 2 seats in my glanza on a set of epp ultra low seat rails Quote
JDMfreak Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 ive corolla HI-torque seats in my glanza and there snug out I do need make new lower rails as I cut feet off corolla rails and fitted glanza seat feet onto them and there a bit high for me but I prefer low seats Quote
SOG33K Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Are the Evo seats have the option to fold forward like the original seats? I also need it to sit fairly low as im 6ft1 Quote

Dansstarlet1996 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I put EP3 type R seats in mine, they look pretty good Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Is there any way to May the standard seats lower? I've got a 98 spec interior coming. Also, who's epp? Is it a company? Quote
Flynn Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Ep performance mate, Give Browner a pm regarding low rails Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 For anyone wanting to keep stock seats or running gt/glanza seats- my mate who's a welder will be modifying mine in a couple of weeks to drop some height off them. I'll be running 98 glanzas on N/A rails so that's why i'll be looking to get them sitting lower. I'll let you know on here when it's done and post pics up etc on my build thread for anyone who's interested. Quote
5e colin Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 ^^^^^ hey pikey it would be very interesting to se how you would be lowering stock seats they have a horrid design underneath to lower Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Well we are going to give it a go and see what happens. He had a look at the mounting points and said he can do it no problem but I guess we will see! Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) So as everyone warned- we decided against chopping the standard mounting points as it does look like a bit of a nightmare. I wanted to buy a set but without treading on anyones toes i feel £200 per frame is a bit crazy. Instead we are drilling out the original mounts and are making a custom pair of seat frames from scratch so will post pics up when they are done Edited November 30, 2015 by Pikey009 Quote
morgey Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 ive corolla HI-torque seats in my glanza and there snug out I do need make new lower rails as I cut feet off corolla rails and fitted glanza seat feet onto them and there a bit high for me but I prefer low seatsI also had these in mine for a while, great seat, with base, lumbar and bolster adjustment on the drivers seat. They are however very heavy in comparison to stock seats. Like at least the weight of both ep91 seats with rails together for one seat. Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Jesus i wouldn't want those then Morgey! Love my 98 seats now i've got them in but just need to get them a little lower Quote
morgey Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I swapped one out for a tom's bucket seat and then swapped that and the other ae92 seat for some recaros. I've still got the drivers one, very very comfy but unfortunately quite heavy lol Quote
Gainzy Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 The most comfy seat I've ever sat in was a bride recliner you certainly get what you pay for! Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I can't afford to add anymore weight to the sr lol I'm 18stone and she only has 76 lazy horses. I had cobra daytonas in the celica and they were brilliant. Seats and rails were 280 too! Quote
daniel_g Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I think standard GT seats are great, not the most fancy seats in the world but theyre comfy and weigh as much as a packet of monster munch.. Quote
Pikey009 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Yeh good point mate I'm just not keen on them otherwise I'd have snapped a pair up by now Quote
Pikey009 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Rough seat frame mock up but these won't be finished until after Christmas now as I've only got a week left in work and won't get the chance to finish them Quote
