has anyone combined the Supra seats with the SC seats?

basically having supra seats with all the power adjustables..

I want to have the sporty bolstering and feel of the supra seats, with all the luxury of the SC

the supra seats are plug and play. as in your drivers seat will still have power adjustments. but the passenger won't because the supras don't. also sc seats weigh about 3 metric tons and supra seats do not.

from what people say the supra seats dont have as much power adjustment as the SC seats.

And yea I know the Supra seats bolt right in.

In my opinion just get a us drivers seat, a jdm drivers seat and call it a day. full power supra seats

^^^ This. I think we all wish we could keep our memory function and the auto-slide-forward function when pulling the rear seat entry lever but the problem is that putting all this back into a Supra seat also adds a considerable amount of weight. Other than the lower seating position and side bolstering, generous weight savings is a reason to switch away from the luxurious but very heavy SC seats, especially if they are heated models.

A Supra MKIV driver's seat is 37-40lbs if I recall correctly. An SC/Soarer driver's seat with all power features, memory and heating elements is somewhere in the vicinity of 80lbs.

well I have planned for weight removal elsewhere, its just that sporty look and bolstering that I want from the supra seats.

I haven't sat in a MKIV supra so I don't know, but the general consensus I have read has been that the seats aren't that comfy for longer trips. and I know from my MR2 Turbo that those seats aren't as comfy as the Soarers.

I mean there not gonna be suv comfortable or anything but ive done multiple 800+ mile trips one way with mine and slammed on coils no problem.

Well if it helps my trip from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City, roughly 600 miles, on stock sc seats it really wasn't anything to write home about. I'd imagine the supra seat can't be much, it any worse..

I recently drove 2800 miles from California to Florida in my MKIV seats and I found them plenty comfortable. I'm sure there are some sportscars with better seats today but there is nothing uncomfortable about these for long trips. The SC seats on the other hand wore me out on some trips in addition to having no bolstering on the sides, poor lumbar support (I find the MKIV buckets have superior fixed lumbar support) and a seating position that is a bit too high for a sports GT.

Can the wires from one unit, be run to the other in some fashion, so that you can get power to the pass. seat?

?? If your talking about a supra passenger seat you would still have to add motors and such and you wouldnt need to extend any wiring because the wiring is still on the passenger side from your old seat.

unless im confused as to what your asking

Supra seats aren't that good... esp when they get older.... Driving around town/long trips isnt bad, but once you start spirited driving, good luck! I now have Evo 9 Recaro's in mine
