I am sure anything is possible. Not for sure exactly if they will fit, but I do know the TT Supra's will, but you will lose the power features, and also the S2000 seats will work also, with the help of some new washers.

I read that the S2k seats will work for our cars as well. I found the info on www.intellexual.net. IIRC the S2k seats no longer have the power options. What I'd really like to know is what the weights are for the different seats. I'm sure that the stockers weigh a ton.

yes you can do that... take off the evo brackets and sliders then order some recaro brackets (made by wedge engineering) and sliders for a supra... brackets and sliders will run you a little over $400

i have integra type r recaros in my sc on supra brackets and sliders

Yes, I recommend the brackets and sliders from Wedge Engineering. I have a set of EVO seats that I put into my SC. I spoke to Wendell who made me a custom/adjustable set because the stock MKIV Supra sliders and brackets sit a bit too low for me. I like the EVO Recaros except that there is no reclining lever so whenever I want to get to the rear seat I have to hand crank the seat into position. Let me know if you have any further questions.

just a though
Anyone ever try drafting the seats from another car on to the SC's seat frames?

The back of the sc seat already has a plastic cover, so if can cover up what ever method you used to draft on the new seats...
and you retain the stock seat motors, and memory switches

$400 just for brackets? Why is it so expensive?
