Anyone have a summary of Subie seats that will fit the SVX

Hi All
We note some modders have successfully installed 02 and 03 WRX and Outback front seats by modding the rails a bit. Can someone add info on the years and Subaru models that that can be donator cars with some but not major surgery?

We have a line on a pair of 03 black Forester seats in pristine condition and wonder if they will work with the usual rail tweaks.
TIA
Gwyneth

Since the Forester is basically a chubby Impreza I strongly suspect that the seat rails are identical between the two.

I personally want to try BRZ seats in mine. Hard to find right now though...

Yes we have it. We hope to see and measure these black front seats next week. If it looks doable work will be done in the spring (alone with new car audio amp, new battery relocated to the trunk (both placed in the spare tire well), adding a used CD changer to the Alpine head unit, installing a second attempt at a sub-woofer box (our first build was structurally sound but cosmetically less than 100%), some more dash work, HIDs, LED turn,brake and backup lights,and new Porsche horns.) Also have to trouble shoot the passenger door open/closed switch as it doesn't turn on the door light nor the door open indicator in the instrument cluster. Too cold under the deck now to enjoy the work.

Found some dual color LEDs at DDM Tuning for the front corner lights (white for running and then amber for turn signals). Hope they are legal.
