Seat Upgrades: Anyone finally make some headway on this?

I haven't personally tried any of the newer Yaris seats, but a few people have, and they seem to think they are an improvement. The 2012+ seats are a bit wider and more comfortable, but they don't fit in an 06-11 Yaris without modification. As for custom seat rails and racing seats, it can be done but it takes a lot of time and money. You'll have to find the right parts and fabricate them, and then you'll need to get the seats installed and wired. It's a big project, but if you're willing to put in the work, it can make a big difference in the comfort and look of your Yaris.

as a fabricator, general mechanic and retired autobody....i can say that seat tracks are the "easy part" but the seat shape is the real issue, which is why i ask..pan and spring depth is the one the will almost always be the primary issue, followed by back rest stop points and total rise....those 2 things are a "make or break" for fitting in ANY car...most of which cant be verifyed without having both the seats and the body and tossing them in place to figure it out

rail width is fairly easy to overcome "if" theres nothing low hanging under the seat
