Any info anr/or parts numbers for the JDM seats? I've noticed that the US versions even have a little plastic cover to hide where the height adjuster should be! (Also - do both JDM seats have the height adjuster or just the right one?)

The seat base is shorter by 2~3 inches over the USDM one.. also the only seat adjuster is on the Right Seat.. and it pretty much goes higher than the left one....( measured it last week ).. So pretty much useless for US in the states unless you have a hard time seeing over the steering wheel...
The only merit I would see of the JDM seats is the color option...

a few pics for differences...

I see, thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if any other markets have a height adjustable left-side drivers seat? Although what I'm really hoping to find is a way that I can get the rear end of the seat lower. (My '02 Impreza seat cranked up and down like that - it was perfect.)

I've read that perhaps loosening the front bolts and adding some washers might do the trick, so that moving the seat forwards and backwards actually plays into the elevation too...

Don't know if there is any passenger side (US driver side) height adjustment, Singapore's Fit/Jazz is the same as Japan's, which is right hand drive.

Since the seat base is shorter would that make refresh mode work on the US GE8?

If so would it be a direct swap or are the rails different/other parts needed?

It will not work due to the fact that it is one piece and it is set up for a right hand drive car... trust me I have looked in to it
