A lil seaching shows that the supra seats bolt right it. Therefore, a seat designed to fit into the supra, will fit into the SC.

I can now say from personal experience (as of 2 hours ago) YES the supra seat is a direct bolt in to the SC (at least the drivers side).

And you gain about 1" of headroom, but, if you have a big butt (like me) the supra seats are a bit narrow compared to the barcalounger like lexus seats. Lateral support is a bit better than the stock seats but not as good as say a Recaro. The supra seats are also a lot lighter than stock.

Transfer the seatbelt clip, cut off the connector on the supra seat, attach a couple of narrow spade terminals, hook it up and you are ready to go. The only issue is knowing the pin-out of the Lexus connector so you can hookup the seat belt sensor to get rid of the seatbelt light. I have a shop manual on order and I will fix it when the manual comes in.

Passenger seat goes in tommorow.

How much do Supra seats cost? I'm trying to lighten my load and the seats are singly the most heavy piece of uneccessary weight the car has. Also do they match the tan leather interior or are they complete eyesores?

Mark IV supra seats seem to come in black and tan leather. Mark III seats don't look like a good option. I've seen prices for $500 - 750. Try supraforums.com and thepartstrader.com. The black leather doesn't lookk bad in my grey car, but it does not seem to be of the same high quality as the lexus leather.

Leatherseats.com offers many different colors which seems like there should be a good match. I am waiting for the leather samples to choose the best match. I was quoted $599 for front only. I think you can get 2-tone for the same price. From what I hear other companies offer covers, but the $599 seems like a good price.

The way I look at it $600 for 2 seats and $600 to custom cover means $1200 for 2 seats vs $1200 for 1 leather Recaro or Sparco in black or tan (if you get the higher end ones with adjustability).

For me the other big advantage is that I gained 1" headroom with the supra seats where I am told you loose headroom with the Sparco and Recaro due to the hight of the mounting brackets and rails.

On the flip side the comfort and lateral support of the supra seats are nothing like the stock Recaros I have in my Audi (S6).

Big rip off. 3 rwhp

You order the gforce through a speed shop. It is a reprograming so you send in your ECU and they reprogram it and send it back

But my car is OBDII and only after I installed the chip and called to complain did they admit that they did not remap the fuel.

You have a '95 so you should do better, but, give me a few weeks and I will have an Apexi SAFC installed and dyno tuned. This should give a good idea of what the gforce for timing and fuel would do for your '95

what about the whole supra dash?

SupraCoup3

Good idea bean... I aways like the look of the supra dash... would it work on an SC300? The ECU is the same as the N/A supra soooo.... Just a thought, anyone actually done anything like this before?


Thinking out loud...

guys there is someone on this forum who is doing a seat swap on his supra for SC seats, maybe you guys could trade instead of going out and buying new seats, I cant remember his name right now but he has a supra that hes making into a convertable

its also the same chassis; theoretically has the same boltholes and everything

the shifter would line up in the same exact spot
