Seats

[redroku87]

I am planning on keeping my back seats, but what front seats would look good in a simple AE86 im not going crazy with on the exterior portion?
Something that looks like its from the 80s.

I was thinking some Celica Supra seats.

Those are nice man!

I was thinking about something OEM toyota from one the other cars of the period.
Would stock AE86 seats get along with harnesses well?

Another vote for og recaros:





If oem Toyo why not gts seats? They should would work fine with a harness.

I loved my Recaros I had in my supra. Good support laterally during turns, just not quite as good as a racing seat like Bride or recaro racing etc...
If you want to use a harness with OEM type seats, I would just make sure that they pass through straight and correct to prevent bodily harm. Obviously a harness bar directly behind the shoulder line is needed for this so you dont snap your spine low on your back.

Older supra seats, while pretty comfy and decent with lateral support, might not look right in the ae86. They are a little bloated and might look out of place.

The original GTS seats to me would be the best. Nothing like stock

I think that it's looking like that I'll stick with the GTS ones. Black suede with black fabric and call it a day.

Good choice man... good luck and take some pics....

Of course.
My AE isn't going to be exciting when it's done but its going to be what I wanted out of one: enough power to be fun, restored well enough to be something I'm really proud of, and handle well enough to remind me of why I love these cars.

And that is what ownership is all about. Enjoying what you have, and having the satisfaction driving and owning it.

I had a set of Corbeau LG1 seats in my AE86... good support...



I have a set of CC Recaros in my AE71.... the CC stands for cop car

Wait a minute like pulled out of a police crown Vic?

not likely a Crown Vic... more than likely the mid 90s Luminas. I didn't pull them... I bought them off Craigslist. I learned about them from an ex Recaro employee
