Any one try to install starion seets in their rig? How different are the rails ? Are the too tall for the car? I know someone said Wrx seats were too tall.

Why would you want starion seats? They're no better than the galants.

I have the same problem lol. I've been trying to find a decent vr4 interior for the gsx. Always seem to miss the decent priced ones. I wondered if any other cars had similar interiors.

I think someone put rx8 seats in their galant.

So Starion seats fit or don't fit? I'm assuming floor pans are different but I bet the brackets can be swaped.

Anyone have experience with this?

No they are completely different. The Starion is based on the 4th generation Galant floorpan and has narrower rails due to being from a RWD vehicle with a larger trans/driveshaft tunnel than the FWD/AWD Galant. The Starion seats are used to swinging right forward due to the rear seats so the lever may get in the way in a four door sedan and the function will be completely useless.

Is it leather you want specifically? In my opinion the cloth seats found in the GGSX and the JDM VR-4 (other than Super VR-4 and Monte Carlo VR-4) are far more comfortable than the leather VR-4 seats, especially the rear seats!

The look of Brown cloth leaves something to be desired. They don't smell too good either, and I'm addicted to Craig's list.

Thanks for the full detailed comparison. That was awesome. I guess I'll get out the steam cleaner.

Oh are yours brown cloth? I thought you had this cloth interior which is kinda blue-ish. These are the real comfortable seats, and I was sure the GGSX got these!

Mine is actually dark blue. Doesn't look bad but I wouldn't mind a leather interior over the cloth.
