Will 86 / BRZ / FR-S (ZN6) front seats fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Q: Will 86 / BRZ / FR-S (ZN6) front seats fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Yes, with extra parts or work. Not a bolt-in. One owner fitted a BRZ driver's seat to a 2008+ WRX by cutting the BRZ rail brackets off, mounting the welded rails to an aftermarket-style seat base, keeping the WRX buckle and moving the WRX's seat airbag over with a custom bracket. The passenger occupant sensor was not done and heated seats were not tested. Treat it as a fabrication job; the seat airbag and belt hardware are safety items.
