Default SC430 seats into a SC400?

I did a quick search and did not find an answer...Anybody know if SC430 seats will fit into an SC400? How about the power options, will they work?

Gonna do it myself will let you know how it goes, gonne be picking up a driver side seat in a few weeks. From what I have seen on the driverside seat the right rear mount will need re working and the wiring should not be to hard. I am also doing a gated shifter conversion and it has the buttons for heated seats so I plan on making that finction work as well. Shouldnt be much harder than doing supra TT power seat install

How are you planning on the heated seats? I think in the 430 they have more than one setting for heat, I may be wrong on that, does anyone know for sure?

I'd love to have SC430 or IS350 seats in my SC.

Any news on the SC430 seats?

i do believe that they are priced too high to even be considered for a swap..not sure where you can find a set for a reasonable price

I have been unable to find a set for a price I am willing to pay...Until then, I will not consider this swap.

Well,

I found that patience won in the end...I found a set of Black SC430 front seats in excellent condition. I bought them, and I have received them. I have not attempted to fit them yet because my car is at the stereo shop, but the car will return to me soon, and I will see how the seat fits then. They should do well...

BTW, these seats are being recovered, new leather, new pattern...Black will remain the color of the leather.
