Sedan Reclining rear seat conversion possible?

Hey all. i tried searching but i can't find anything on this. guessing someone has done this before

Well yes, it's possible. How much parts you'll need to change is a different story. You pretyy much need the entire seat, possible the bottom and the seatbacks.

Which parts you need i don't know

I would guess this too.. at least if you want it to be clean

I cant say I have looked at it too closely, but I have the reclining seats and there is matierial that connects the seat to the tray, so there wont be an opening to the trunk

I have never compared them either. I also have reclining rears and have also taken note that the package tray is notched for the seat backs. Idk if the normal rear seats have that.

humm, maybe i'll have to checkout the junkyard to see whats different than mine. the parcel looks pretty much the same except for the subwoofer which i don't have.

here's a picture of one with reclining back, is this like yours?

It is possibly I done it on a coworkers car because I changed my interior color to black and he had the base model with wheat interior. You will need a fer extra bolts and nuts and the bottom seat is different, but it was pretty easy. I have a extra set of black reclining seats if someone needs them, but I don't have the bottom seat.

+1000

But I do have to say, the rear seats, fully reclined are pretty cozy. I wish my car could drive itself so i could ride in the back!

For me the best part of having reclining rear seats is I can change the dampening on my coils in less than a minute for both sides. Recline the seat forward, pull the cloth flap off, and voila, the dampening adjusters are right there.
