hmm f you're willing to do enough work I'm sure any seat will work, bu I duno... maybe Supra seats will line up, if they do then I know Maxima seats will work, 300ZX seats...

why do you want to change?? Recaro makes some suuuweeeet power adjustabe seats that have alot more support than the stockers- my dads car has them but Recaro wont reply to my emails

I've got ricaro's in my other sc400, had to make all new harnesses for the seat and what not as they're narrower than the stock ones. I got them from a 911, older one, 91, and other than that, they seem to work fine. I left them manual though becuase the whole motor, rewiring, and making them into power thing wasn't lookin like too much fun!

Supra TT seats are a direct bolt in (except the wiring).

Drivers is power, passengers is manual. For sale at suprastore.com for $350

Any rails for the 93-98 supra should bolt on

I don't think Recaro has supra rails but some of the other brands might. I'm 90% that Sparco makes rails for the supra tt, but you need to watch seat hight.

Supra tt and TRD seats are about 1" lower that the stock seats but most aftermarket seats are higher than stock (due to the rails).

If you need to fit in the seat with a helmet and are tall (I'm 6'2") go for the tt or TRD.

so basically any aftermarket seats for the supra 93-98 will fit the sc400? any recommendation of aftermarket brands that are more luxury than sport to fit the interior of the sc? i would like to keep all the options the seat came with. thanks

is the supra tt or trd seat in leather and have the same power seat options which moves in 8-10 ways depending on how you count them...also with lumbar cushion...

If so and if it is only $350, it is a good deal...
