I was going to fit saab seats , after looking in the wiki at seat choices I saw that MR2 seats were a even easier soloution.

I picked up a pair of ebay for £40 which were in pretty good nick , followed the guide in the wiki . Think it took 3 or 4 hours to do max (with a fractured arm).

there really comfy and the same height as standard seats

I've just fitted 9-3 seats to mine, but as I'm 6'3" and needed all the legroom I could keep, I...didn't follow the Wiki!

I drilled out the standard rails and fitted the seats direct to the box [after some expert advice from metalmick8y that is :wink: ).

High-backed and sooo comfy!!

Saab 9000 seats sit a bit higher even with the height adjusting mechanism removed from the drivers seat. The missus couldn't put her feet on the floor with one of those seats on a swivel base. She is 5ft 7

I had them in for 3 years but then reverted back to captains. That's the beauty of the wiki method of fitting it's fully reversible as you have left the runners in.
