Audi A1, Skoda Fabia, VW Polo, just a few cars who's seats will fit. I agree, it's like driving a double decker bus from upstairs

Re: New caddy and lower seats
I spent some time driving a truck and at the time I was driving a civic type r then got an Audi s3, changing from super heigh to super low was very annoying. I don’t drive trucks anymore but got my caddy a few weeks ago and don’t mind the seats and height but still want nice looking ones..

Re: New caddy and lower seats
Will fitting audi 1 seats to the caddy base make it lower for me or is it the base
And thanks guys for your reply .
I’ve owned a Audi A3 ,merc aclass and now a mini so all low cars just really want the caddy seating position lower
I thought about taking the bulkhead out but I can’t see that making much different

Gee101a. Sweet amazing what WRX ones. What straight fit vw bases. Or did you have to adjust something.

Re: New caddy and lower seats
Think they're WRX, can't remember. Bought them as a temporary measure as I wanted to put leather in but really like them so will probably leave them in.
Took Caddy seats out, bolted some flat metal bar crossways onto the original seat base's bolt holes, had to use countersunk bolts.
Had to grind a bit of the brackets off the Subaru runners making them basically flat runners then bolt them to the flat metal bar.
Was quite easy really and I'm sure you could use the same method with a load of different seats.

Re: New caddy and lower seats
Looking good, are those Impreza seats? How difficult are they to fit?
