I just came across a set of supra seats in great shape, but this is what im curious about. I know that the manual seats sit ~2 inches lower than a stock SC seat. Well, what if the supra seat is electronic? Will it sit higher than the manual? I mean i would guess so, but havnt been able to find any info on power supra seats. Im 6-3 and the whole point of the supra seat upgrade would be to lower the seat to give me more headroom, so if it doesnt do that i need to look for another set.

Any info greatly apreciated

 

It will definitely be lower. The full manual's will sit the lowest however, but electronic will give you the extra room you want.

 

Agree. I have electric Supra seats, am 6' 1" and I have 3 inches or so clearance.

 

how much lower do the manuals sit compared to the electronic??

 

The manual seats sit really low. I'm ~6'0" and I can barely see where the front of my car ends.

 

As someone told me. Shock therapy. Sit in it for a few days and you'll get used to it. haha

 

I have electric mk4 seats and the driver has up and down motion if that helps you.

 

what year are the seats coming from? 93-96 or 97-98? Best way to tell is if the head rest is adjustable or fixed. If its adjustable its the 93-96 and they give about a 2 inch drop. The later ones with fixed headrests give about 3 inches. If its adjustable it will have vertical adjustment so if you dont like it all the way to the ground then you can go up and down with it.

 

Even with the electric adjustments will the supra seats sit as high as the sc's ?

 

I was doing a bunch of gauge wiring stuff after I put the driver's seat in last night and I kept falling into the car unless I'd remember how much lower they were and that I had to lower myself in.

 

I got these installed the same day they came in....and I can honestly say its been the best mod ive done to date. The whole car feels different and is sincerly a MUST for anyone over 6-1

 

Nope I'm 5'9 and I look a circus migdet driving the car, the pass seat is manual and my girl looks like a toodler... you can see the top of her head. My seat is power and the seats came off a 95TT.

 

Damn I'm 5'8 so I guess I might have to pass on the supra seats.

 

lol ditto, i was thinking about upgrading too!

 

naw just dont the FULL manual ones. I got the power ones and they are awesome....
