Default STI seats

Hey guys just wondering when i sat in the STI i noticed the seating positoin is abit lower then the standard WRX, Could the STI rails be mounted on a WRX seat of the same year model, to lower the seating position or do i have to buy whole new seats/rails as a package

I just moved from an MY05 WRX to an MY05 STi and there is no difference. Which is why I'm investigating aftermarket seat rails. See below thread.

Are all STI Seats Height adjustable?

Or is it just the 06-07 models that are?

All gdb+ seats should have a lowering handle on the side?? Like a little jack to either jack it up or down?

All standard rex's do thought sti would be the same. As for seat height the last time i sat in an sti felt identical to mine.

Only difference was it was blue hahaha
