This is so true. The stock leather seats are just too slippery. I don't, however, how anything to complain about how soft and comfortable the stock seats are. Just don't plan on being well planted when cornering. I have Corbeau A4's in my gold SC and these things keep me in check. When I drive my white SC, with the stock seats, I feel like I'm about to slip off of its edge. I like the idea of using Supra seats. They look and probably are more supportive than the stock units. Plus, they're lighter and they match your interior. They also look cool. Good Job VSsc

my passenger side is non-powered anything.
not to doubt you... but.
sc400 driver side is power everything and heated and supra TT driver side is 4 way power so let's say it's 20lbs lost
sc400 passenger side is identical to it's driver side counterpart except for the memory module and supra tt passenger is non-power anything... so how can the weight loss be 20lbs on each side?

I have custom leather supra seats in my Sc300, and would recomend this to anyone who wants to upgrade there seats. If you have ever spent a good deal of time in a Supra seat you will not want to go back to the love chair support of the SC seat. Mine are off a 93.5 Dawg and have new very nice tan leather put on them($1800 job) it doesn't match but looks much better than sc seats ever did. The sporty look of the supra seats fit very well with the lines of the car, and I have recieved many compliments on them. They will also seat you noticably lower, with defently doesn't hurt.

I like the idea of swapping the seats, but since the pass. side isn't power, then you have to slide it back and forth when getting in and out of the back. I don't use my back seat often, but I do every now and then. The "memory" feature where it automatically slides forward and then slides back is great! I wouldn't won't to lose it. If it's only a few lbs., then I'm not too concerned about it. How many people here use their backseat??

strange... I have lumbar support on my supra seats.
As for the lumbar, maybe the power seats with lumbar support were an option. The sc supposedly comes bone stock with cloth seats and w/o heat.

I prefer the manual quick release because:
1. It will last longer.
2. It's faster
3. It will eventually deter lazy people from wanting to catch a ride in the backseat
I even turn off the steering wheel auto return switch just to make sure that if my steering wheel jams, it jams in the ideal position.
BTW, whoever that is going to switch seats, would you mind weighing the seats?

I'll try to measure the SC seats... but if anyone does do the supra seats i would like to see what they weigh.
I have yet to se an SC with cloth seat and no heater. I've heard that there are a few out there with cloth seats but I think 98% of SC's came with leather and 90% of them with heaters.

It might be convenient to have the seat slide and stuff, but I find it to be a nuisance sometimes. It makes a lot of noise and takes forever to slide forward.

Looks good... I love my heated seats and use them all the time when its cold, so I would not do this to a daily driver, but maybe once I get around to the turbo and I start looking for ways to cut on wt and keeping my butt in the seat I may have to look into this...
Thx for the post and keep us updated...

I think the heated seats were part of the "winter driving" option package, which also included TRAC. Does anybody have an SC with heated seats that doesn't have TRAC?

I have an SC with cloth and no heated seats or memory function. Just did a driving course that had a very tight track setup wiht the cones and I had no problem sliding into the door.
