    Good vid. The seat covers come off of these very easily. It takes under 15 mins and no tools are needed except of a t15 and a bone tool. If you want to retrofit the heaters let know i canbwalkbyou through it. I just did it on my seats.

    Quality ✅, styling ✅, comfort for me 🤔? as I never have sat in one, material cover selections ✅, colour options ✅, safety with airbag ✅, safety without airbag ❌, heated ✅, Recaro stitched prominently on seat ❌, price ❌. But you like them and that is what counts. And hopefully your wife to when she takes your Subie for a spin.

    You can also disable that seatbelt light along with the chime by turning the auxiliary power on then putting the driver seatbelt in and out of the buckle 20 times within 30 seconds. turn the car off and then back on and light should be gone :)

    • @Scoobyfreak86
      @Scoobyfreak86  2 роки тому +7

      Yes, I mentioned that in the video. I was under the assumption it turned off the chime, but not the light. If that’s the case, headed to the garage right now and doing it haha.
      EDIT: just tried it and you are correct. Light and chime turned off. Canceling my order for the clips now! Thanks for the tip.

    I just got a hold of a driver and passenger seat. Found them in the west coast. I’m looking into the carbon fiber backs. But all I find are backs for the Recaro sportster CS. Will they fit the GT seat, being that they are both sportster models?

    These are my dream seats too! By any chance, do you have specific values on how much lower the seats are compared to stock? I'm 5' 7" and my only concern is that these seats with this specific set of mounting hardware will actually be too low for me to drive comfortably. For me, I always wished that the stock seats would sit 1.5"-2" lower.

    • @Scoobyfreak86
      @Scoobyfreak86  Рік тому

      I’m not sure just how much lower from stock but it’s fairly drastic. My shoulder is below the top of the door card. I’m 6’ and fear if I was any shorter, I would have trouble driving. My buddy who is around 5’9 couldn’t see over the wheel.

    • @SuperKid1241
      @SuperKid1241 Рік тому

      @@Scoobyfreak86 Appreciate the quick response! It seems then that the safest thing for me to do is look into some spacers for the seats. Quite interesting to find out too that the reason the OEM seats are so high are actually due to the thick seat bottom and not the chassis design.
      Kinda wish there was a bit more info out there for the S207 and S208 seats which are also Sportster seats. Based on photos that I can find, the OEM positioning for those seats has the top of the thigh bolster at the same height as the centre console, which I'm guessing is more suitable for Japanese folk who are on average around my height. With your hardware, it is definitely a lot lower.

      @Scoobyfreak86  2 роки тому +1

      I didn’t. I’d say a good 10lbs difference between the two. Especially the driver seat since it has motors for the electronic seats.

    Just know the air bags can still go off up to 45min after you disconnect the battery, some time even longer than 45min. Just a disclaimer for anybody planning on doing this.
