i've had both and my vote goes towards getting FR-S/BRZ seats (if you can get them installed without too much hassle).
the FR-S/BRZ seats are much better than the 6gc leather seats. they have bolsters that are enough to keep you in your seat while cornering without being difficult to get in and out of unlike the oem recaros i had on my gt-four. they also feel comfortable during long drives, look better, and will probably sit lower if you can get them installed giving you more headroom (if you have a sunroof). -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

got a set from ebay. will arrive next week. should not be hard, i will post the updates when it gets here... at any rate, im going to see what i do with the rears. the goal is to maybe get the leathers at a future time... or maybe not.
they are very comfortable, i drove the frs. and fee better than recaros, and are only 2 years old. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

unfortunately dont fit without major mods, that im not going to do unless i have free time. the seats are to tall, and the way the rail system is fabricated does not allow to be moded.
With a lot of hard work, they can be made fit. measuring the distance between front of the seat to the floor: frs seats are 11 inches celica seats are 8 inches. and it pushes legs up. sad day... maybe ill tackle it some other day.... need less to say. i cannot resell one seat, because its all hacked up.. so now they are mine forever. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

Too bad. I really wanted to do this one day. Guess I'll just do recaros instead.

took some pics, but in all honesty to lazy to upload. i would have to cut a lot and weld a lot, and relocate the mechanism, and not something that can be done in 4 hours.
those seats are very tall per se, when standing on a flat surface, 3.5 inches taller... good thing i did not sell the leather seats. lol... i mean it may be doable, but just to much work . really bummed.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

So you can drop in a 2GR, but you're going to let some seats defeat you? What gives?
