i just aquired my first lexus, it is a 92 sc400. the seats are about shot. can you tell me what years are interchangable for this car. i dont suppose any other model would work as well. other than that it has 144,000 original miles, is there any special things i should be looking out for or checking on. thank you

 

92 thru 94 should be interchangeable. i havent seen anyone change up from heated to nonheated and vice versa

 

They should all be interchangeable. The only difference are whether they are heated or not and the 97+ seats have perforated inserts.

 

Other than any other SC seats, you can also look into MKIV Supra seats or S2000 seats that directly bolt into the SC. Just note that S2000 tan seats are a little darker than our stock seats.

 

s2ks are direct bolt in? interesting i thought you had to do a little cutting and etc to get them to sit properly

 

All years are interchangeable but if the stock leather is on them, you're going to have the same problem down the road. Get in touch with Leatherseats.com for replacement "leather".

Taken directly from the website "The Honda S2000 seats will also bolt down directly to the SC. Some washers are needed for the install, but the seats themselves fit well and are powered. Since the wiring harnesses are different for the seat motors, some basic wire splicing is required."

I believe it's the RSX seats that you need the cutting, welding etc to fit properly. I found it interesting too when I read it.

To OP you can gather a lot of info from the website link posted above

 

My '97 seats aren't perforated...

 

Oh thanks very much! Good info

Only 98+ came with perforated

 

WRONG! 99-00 are only perforated.. heated seats were optional.

 

Deem whatta burn haha, i know that 99+ had 3 spokes.. didn't know 98 didnt have perforated seats.

 

I'm pretty sure the s2000 seats bolting in isn't true.. It was a mistake or something.. hold on lemme find it....

And if you are going to do the work.... then you can pretty much install ANY seat with some cutting and welding.. heres my RSX seat install...

Yeah I was about to say lol. Cuz Someone mentioned that 97+ had them.

 

Nice catch... It would have been awkward to think they both had the same bolt pattern. You can't always believe everything you read
