Default Changing drivers seat

Recently picked up an 03 str but the seats aren’t as comfortable as the 02 v8 I’ve had for almost 2 decades. Does anyone know if I can swap the front seats from the 02 to the 03?

I guess it’s fair to say most people wouldn’t notice the difference unless they’ve sat in the 00, 01or 02 stypes for a lengthy period of time. Most cars do not compare to the comfort the early s type seats provided and it’s really disappointing to realize just how much more cheap and uncomfortable the later model seats feel.

Sport seats are always designed to brace and hold you in more than regular seats and are much firmer.
With all those adjustments in the sport seats, they certainly would have been a lot dearer to manufacture.
Worth checking if you could borrow a regular one from a wrecker to see if compatible, or just ask the wrecker.

I may just try it with my 02 passenger seat and see. Don’t wanna go through all that work if someone knows for sure whether or not it’ll fit. Definitely not a bad idea to call a few wreckers and see what they say. Thx
