Are Aspire seat botoms deaper than the Festiva bottoms?

[kracker2k]

I'm fixing up a 92 Festiva for my wife. The only thing she does not like is the depth of the Festiva seats. She has long legs and likes seats that are deeper in order to give her more support out closer to her knees. I want to swap the seats out for her but don't have access or know how to use a welder so thought I would try to use the Festiva bases and was told that the Aspire swap would be very easy.

I just want to make sure there is a difference between the 2 as far as depth goes. Anyone have any good suggestions here?

Thanks

Not sure on the aspire but the escort seats are built up more towards the knees and are also wider giving them more support .
And the escort and aspire ,swap to the festiva bottom and seat backs bolt right on.
Only thing I miss about my festival seats is the would lay flat (escort dose not) and the passenger side escort do not have the foot exit for rear passengers.

Aspire seats will be better for her. The Escort sets are low and not all that cushiony. I've had both. I tossed my Escort seats for the Aspire ones.

You don't need a welder. Just follow my easy Aspire seat swap. Hang on while I go find it.....

For some reason this is not showing up as a link. Just go the the Custom Interior and Exterior forum; I bumped it up to the top.

Thanks for the link,

I remembered seeing that thread that is why I'm debating on the Aspire or Escort seats and not something from other cars. So I don't have to weld anything.

Any idea how much deeper the Aspire seats are than the Festiva?

Never measured them, but they are a noticeable improvement.

That would be great for her. Thanks for the info.

Anyone have a nice set in Central Florida?

Yep, I do
$40. with junspeed leather covers. $30. with out covers.
Look in my profile Album for pics.
1 back on the covers are scuffed up because of my holster.
Where are you?
I'll meet you part way & save shipping.

I am north of Orlando. Are the seats nice without the covers? Id probably get the covers, just want to make sure the seats are nice in case she does not like the covers.

Thanks
