Had a little hit and run, typical.

Got the rear, black, OBXT seats, bolsters and seatbelts. With that said all that is left are the door cards and the carpet. But I am kind of liking the amount of tan and black and the carpet is discontiued with subaru, so not sure what I am going to do.

New wheel look great. So jealous of the seats. Do you still have height adjustment?

Thanks man!!! I really, really like them, but wish I didn't have to run a 5mm spacer... but is what it is.

 

Not nearly as much adjust-ability as the stock seats, but they are comfy as hell!! AND I don't slide around in the seat, at all!! Love them.

Sounds like the seat is a better fit overall. No point in having all that adjust ability if you can't dial it in. my lower back hurts with the stock seats

I find them to be very comfortable, but also read a guy that did the swap started having back pain, I don't see how as there still is the lumbar adjustment. But 100% worth the swap, especially if you have a limited with black leather!!

What year seats did you put in? Your car is still awesome! My 2011 sti seats have no lumbar adjustment that I could find. Also looks like you have some two tone interior going on. Can't see it well but I think its a perfect fit for this car.

Thanks man!!! So I swapped everything but the carpet (discontinued and the ones I have found were sub par), door cards (still debating, but they have a different wood grain and I am not sure you can remove it, so still figuring that out) and the rear side trim which I am also not sure I am going to swap.

 

 

I thought they had the lumber, they are 2010 non heated seats. I will have to double check now.

Snows. 205 55 17. Definately can feel more power from the lower profile.

 

As far as the rims, I do not like them for some reason and am going to put the tires on the stocks next week.

FWIW, I think they make the wagon look great. I'm putting the same Crosstrek wheels on mine tomorrow.

I really loved them on the other guys outback but he was lifited just a touch over legacy height and I think the aggressive look compliments the gap. Since I have no gap the car has a more feminine look and I think the rounded lines of the stock wheels compliment the other curves. Plus silver on black is classy. My wheels up close are also scratched up quite a bit. I got them off a wreck on ebay.

 

But I also deeply appreciated RCR's miata episode recently.

Coming from 235/40/18 summer to a 225/55/17 all-crappy tire, I definitely noticed the change in the get up and go.

 

But I do a lot of highway cruising, so Its also nice to be back on stock size.

Interesting. I'm lower than stock Legacy height, so we'll see how it looks. I lucked out, and got these off a guy that bought a new Crosstrek, and upgraded to the STI wheels, so they we're only on the vehicle for a few test drives. I kinda feel bad putting them on for winter, given the excellent condition they're in. I'll post pics of the silver snow plow in a couple days!
