Really? I'll have to look into that then. I love the wheel in my '03 and my fox doesn't have factory CC so i've been wanting to get rid of that ugly wheel for some time. I've seen the SN95 swap in 90-93's, but never on the tilt column.

94-04 seats will make you sit higher in the car, but they look sweet!! I am running them in my 81. But I also have the 01 column, so I can tilt the wheel.

Here was an old shot of the 98 GT Seats in my 92 GT, they bolted right up to the Stock Tracks. I did not care for the slight color difference or the extra height of the Seats.

I agree the height I could do without, but the seats are way better than stockers.

Mustang5L5 I might look into it some more, I don't want to do an SN interior swap, so I might just toss that steering wheel in and be done with that for now.

I mocked mine in on the 81. I welded the 94-04 brace in my notch. This way I can use the 2001 lower seat bottom. I am using the original 81 upright back seat, I am just getting it recovered. Now, the brace was a TON of work, and unless you have a donor car, you cannot get this. Others have shaved the foam off of the newer back seat bottom and got it to work. You can't use upright back seat because it isn't long enough. You will have to get custom filler panels for the sides.

Here is the brace..

If you want you can use your bottom part of the seats and just take the leather etc. off the sn95 seat and put it on your bottom seat part, instead of using the sn95 bottom part... Thats what I did...

cant really see the backseats but you get the idea

808....how about some pics of the rear? What did you do with the seat back? Does the lower leather fit onto the fox lower without trimming,etc?

94-98s are better, I hated the Seats in my 02 GT it felt like I was sitting on them instead of in them, the only 99-04 Seats that felt comfy to me were Cobras, Bullitts, and Mach 1s.

I agree my sisters 94 has some extremely comfy seats. The 99+s were better than the fox ones (although the 4cyl seats were comfy as well). I decided for my next upgrade I am just going to avoid Ford seats altogether.

I'm the opposite. I LOVE my '03's seats. I think they are cozy as hell and attractive looking. That's why i want to put them in my Fox

Mustang5L5 interested in buying some clean 2001 seats? Dark Charcol leather, on fox tracks, not power though. The seats I posted in this thread.

Eh I'm not a fan of aftermarkets, I'm going to try something else, just have to find the seats for resonable money.
