Is it true they don’t fold down? I thought it was standard for every car made today to do the 60/40 split. Any STi owners out there find this inconvenient? And if you have race wheels, how do you transport them (back seat? trunk? trailer?) ---

Tis true, but if you buy a jdm rear seat id does fold down. Shitty huh? I never understood, it would add what 200 on to the price of the car. Anyway most guys just have a hitch and a small trailer to transport their stuff. ---

> [@sureshot007](#): > > So how hard is it to get these JDM rears? There is a guy on buffalo scooby that bought a seat in toronto from four star motorsports. I don’t know how many they had but i think he said they were around 200-300. Don’t quote me on the price though. Other than that i have never really looked into it. ---

hey, at least you STi people have the option of getting seats that fold down and a trunk. unless some one makes a gas tank relocation kit, im out of a truck as well as folding seats. ---

Correction, JDM seats don’t fold down, they have a center pass through like US WRX seats. ---

Yea its kind of annoying I’d guess. But honestly, in my wrx I don’t think I’ve ever used the pass through, or said I wish my seats folded down. You can fit 2 wheels/tires in the trunk and 4 in the back seat though, just remember the trash bags… ---

One of the reasons I didn’t buy a sedan. The wagon seats fold down and there is a ton of room. ---

For practicality, I am leaning toward the wagon. However, A Stock is very inviting, and I doubt the wagon would be competitive in D Stock. Plus, 6 gears and the variable center diff sounds like fun. ---

Go with the pink Jim. On anything looser than tarmac you can literally point the car wherever you want it to slide. ---

Jim, the old Legacy seats fold down, you could pick up a set of those and have them reupholstered to match. They would have to be modified somewhat but maybe you could make it work. 😉 is this happening sometime soon? dibs on leftover honda parts ---

Is it overly difficult to remove the rear seat back? Is there a bulkhead or other obstruction that would defeat just pulling / unbolting / removing the rear seat back? Obviously inconvenient in day to day life, but for snowboarding / raceday trips, why not? ---

The civic will go in one piece, so I don’t think there will be any leftover parts - but I’ll let you know what that is going down. I don’t see it happening before the season, most likely after the season is over. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sti-rear-seats/23738.md?page=2)
