my wife has a 2000 GT. I think the seats are very comforatable. They show dirt pretty easily though.

my buddy has a 00 celica. they seats are comfy but not very supportive in turns
you do sit pretty low in a celica, but the high door line plays a part as well.

I had a 00 GTS with leather and the seats are very comfortable to me. They are way better than my stock civic seats and I would rather be using the gt seats.

The sides don't seem to come out very far, doesn't look like they'll hold you very well. But, I've never sat in them, so I can't say for sure, it just looks that way from the pic

I agree they are very comfortable but if they sit lower than del sols I think that is pushing it. I have del sols and the rear visibility is pretty comprimised because they are so low.

The Celica seats are great. I have them in my Del Sol. A litle work with a welder and they bolt in like factory. Much nicer than my del sol seats were. They are as close to an aftermarket as possible without going overboard. I got mine off Ebay for 300.00 bucks. Definately worth every penny.

I was noticing how low they sat in a celica I was driving next to last nite. I'll keep my del sol seats though, the celica seats dont look very bolstered.
