(old on left, new on right)
but now my seats dont match 'em. i got to looking, and i see that there are a bunch of good looking rs seats for sale.
my question is i know that wrx seats sit waaay higher than stock leggie seats, but what about rs seats? do these also sit higher? this might be a problem, since i am 6"2...
also, what about the back seat? would that fit at all, or do i have to get some wagon seat?

They sit about the same as the Legacy GT seats at highest seating. Maybe a little lower - but they're so nice.

Are you talking about new RS seats? Like '07 2.5i or like 1999 2.5RS? The older seats will sit no higher. The newer ones might sit a tiny bit higher but not noticeably. It is more noticeable when putting new Impreza seats (i.e. '05 WRX seats) into an older Impreza (i.e. 2000 2.5RS). I have a '97 Outback with '07 WRX seats and didn't notice a height difference.

WRX or STi seats are fine for 6'2" drivers, it's the passenger side that is more cramped.

they wont sit any higher at all? i dont really care about the passanger seat because i dont have to sit there... :smt002
maybe i should look for some wrx seats...
will a sedan rear seat work though or do i have to get a rear seat from a wagon?

If you want to keep the ability to fold down the seat for utility you will need a folding wagon seat. I'm not even sure that a sedan seat will work because there is nothing to bolt the rear seat support to.

They will sit marginally higher - the passenger side more than the drivers, because the LHD seats have height adjustment.
