You want the seats from a zz231 celica. Ive read they bolt in but I am waiting to buy some to confirm.
Late 2006 on celica seats will have the same airbag and seat sensors letting us keep the factory air bag seat up is the main reason I want to try. They are both small cars so dimensions wise they will be mint its just if the rails work or can be swapped. |

I don't actually have the FRS seats installed yet. I went as far as buying them and working on the seat brackets before even having looked underneath them. Zero cognitive processing in that moment. Live and learn. Airbags are important to me, so if I can't get them to work then I'll cut my losses before hacking up the seat rails.

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.

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

Small update...
I noticed that 09-12 Yaris Sedans out of the United States can come have nicer looking seats than previous sedan and hatchback years. See attached photo. Can anyone attest to them having improved comfort? The big hurdle for obtaining them would be finding some in half-decent condition and without an enormous shipping bill up to Washington where I can at least cross the border and grab them without having to drive down to California. A more realistic solution is to work with what I've got. The seat brackets are ready to go (I highly recommend just dropping the coin on the Planted ones) and I found a work around on the Tacoma forums that at least solves the PASSENGER wiring issues since it involves retaining the seat sensors/harness out of your stock seats. The DRIVER seat positioning sensor is not address in the thread, so I'll have to come up with something. Without a datum for reference measurements, I don't know how the heck I would accurately retrofit the position sensor on the FSR seat... I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. |
