You can make custom mounts and relocate the seats but before you do that, check that the seats are worth the effort. They crack at the base of the back near the recline ratchet which also strips.
You may want to fit replacements from another car or aftermarket.

You'll also need to see what rego requirements have to be met RE: seat or mount modifications.

thanks so basically you need to consult an engineer I would like to fit aftermarket seats but I don't know how much further back that would go

[latterbrian2003]

how much more room do u think I could get by fitting different type of seats the Suzuki swift seats look nice

[want33s]

I'm 6'4 1/2" tall and I fitted aftermarket race type seats about 60mm rearward and a few mm higher than stock. It is a little cramped on entry/exit but once in there is plenty of room except I can't drive it with steelcaps on.

You can see in the pic that for the drivers side I just used a couple of pieces of 50x5 flat bar. Passed inspection in Qld.

Ideally you would move the seat back 100mm, extend the steering wheel back 25 and up 25 and raise the pedal assembly 25mm but that is just too much work.


Swift seats are quite good and are not bolt in but close. Others have used Pulsar/Astra or Barina or Honda CR-x or even Chrysler Voyager among others. A tape measure is your friend at the wreckers.

You are in W.A and I am not familiar with the modification approval process over there, maybe other W.A members will chime in.
