    Wise Ones. Are the first gen R50 seats the same as R53's?

    Found a set of leather R50('03) seats for good price and was wondering if a swap to an R53('05) is pratical.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    If they are sport seats they may be the same. Non-sport seats are rather flat & lack lateral support. I think the problem you may have is an incompatibility between the seats because of the air bags. I'm sure there is a work around, but you may need to dig around a bit to find it.

    The seats themselves are the same, but the airbag compatability might be an issue.
