Subaru Forester bucket seat guide
Subaru Forester Bucket Seat Guide
The Subaru Forester...
The Subaru Forester luckily for us has all the same bolt points and installation points as the Subaru Impreza. Often overlooked, we think the Forester is a great car for tuning and has real potential for power upgrades. The Forester was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1995 as the Streega concept, and made available for sale in February 1997 in Japan, and to the US market in 1997 for MY 1998.Â
However, once you start using your Forester for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Subaru Forester guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
