If you are looking at both listings and cannot see the difference, send us the registration and we will tell you which your car takes rather than have you choose blind.
What separates this generation
It is the one that got the six speed gearbox and the DCCD centre differential on the STI, and it is the generation with the widest tuning support behind it. The STI came with better bolstered seats than the WRX, so tell us which you have.
The bug eye seats in particular
Early second generation cars had a distinctive interior and original parts in good condition are getting harder to find. Store what comes out somewhere dry.
Practical
Side airbags are fitted on most of these. Tell us the specification, and tell us the seat and sliders so we can confirm the combination.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Subaru Impreza WRX/STI, including our fitting guide, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
