FC Vert seats in an FD?

Will seats from a 1990 RX7 Convertible fit directly into a 1993 FD?

Some dufas kid crashed into my parked FC, and now I want an FD. The FC has great seats the previous owner had re-leathered at a cost of $3000. The seats in the FD I am looking at are warn, and cracked. I would like to direct swap them both if possible. Perhaps even wire up the headrest speakers in the process.

Check the dimensions based on the Sparco Torino:

If the dimensions (mainly the base) is larger, it's not going to fit. The FD has a more narrow seating area than the FC so there is a smaller subset of seats which fit in comparison.

The FC seats WILL NOT fit in the FD. On top of that they would make the awesome interior look retarded. Sell the seats, have your FD seats recovered.

And they all look worse than an FD seat. Try and sell both sets of seats and pick up a goot set of R1 seats.

The Vert seats do look a little strange. This is because their are speakers in the headrests that make it stick out more then a regular headrest. They are very comfortable since they were replaced. I just don't want to give them up to the insurance company that wants to pay me bottom dollar for the car.

Oh well thanks for the info guys!

No definitely didn't know that. I thought all 4 of the FC's i owned had the same seats.


^ Sarcasm.


An FC seat will be to wide and most likely put your head into the headliner.
