Default Supra seats in the SC

To all of you who have performed the supra seats into the SC swap, what are your reactions so far? Are you happy with the difference in seating? Do they have more support than standard Lexus seats? I'm really looking for personal opinions and impressions.

It's nice. It sits about 2" lower than SC seats

very happy with the difference in seating. It's hugs my side bolsters just right. and I love the fact that it's a bucket seat .

the side supports are much better than the SC's
I in fact think the supra seats are much more comfortable than the SC seats. I drove to cross country and back in like 9 days and I was very comfortable in them.

also they are lighter than SC seats since they don't have heated seats and the passenger side is not powered at all.

if you get a set of tan colored TT seats let me know. I'll trade you my powered driver side for your non-powered.

I have the black leather TT seats installed and I love them.... I no longer hit my head on the interior head liner and the support is fantastic...
IF your a shorty you may have issues as some guys mentioned trouble seeing over the hood because u sit so low...
This was my favorite mod...

BOUGHT A SET OF Tan seats from silversprucesc3!!! I just love them!!
They sits lower and has a lot more support, makes me feel more like making hard turns and my butt moves less than before!!
Plus you save a lot of weight and still retain stock looking interior.
I don't like putting in racing seats in SC unless I really want to go auto crossing.
Anyway, if you spot a clean one, make sure you go for it!!!

** Some cool guys went another route and put 3 spoke steering wheels in their sc's .... like this IS300

BTW..Your price for the wheel is quite fair Ryan ..

Here is a pic of my black TT seats...b4 install... but they look good in the car with my black back seat..

partial interior shot of the seat and door panel..
