Default swapping right and left seats?

Are there any issues with this? I think my driver's seat might be twisted to a point that the naked eye can't see...until I have the time to get the insurance co. to replace it, I wanted to have the bodyshop (damn them) switch my driver's and passenger's seats. I am assuming the two front seats are totally identical, is it just a "plug and play" operation?

well the seat position levers would be on the wrong side and the seat belt attachment would be on the wrong side, is it that unbarable?

that basically means I couldn't wear my seatbelt...so yes, it's unbearable. I didn't even think of that

My stock seat is twisted and I've never been hit. Maybe some stock seats are defective?

I guess you don't have a racing harness but if you did, the seatbelt wouldn't be an issue. As for reclining the seat, that's not a big deal.

I know a few ppl who are running the passenger seat on the driver's side (ITR Recaro SRD) using a race harness. I had no idea until they told me!
