Installing Saab Seats

Post by brookseysblues »

I have read conflicting things about installing Saab front seats into my T25. There are some decent leather ones from a Saab Convertible that I am interested in. I have read that they will be too high up especially as I am 6'2" tall. I have also read that all Saab ones should be fine. The ones installed were replacements themselves and they are very uncomfortable and in poor nick. Please can anybody help me out by giving me their opinions? Thanks in advance. Pete :)

Thanks, I have read this, it refers to Saab 900 seats, are all Saab seats suitable especially for some one talk? Thanks

Mine were very high so I cut off the original subframe and welded up a new lower assembly, im 6' and like my food :D and the seats are very comfy with plenty of room and still have full adjustment . Look in my build thread below :ok
