If I found a pair of s80 seats how hard would it be to make them fit into my 850?

[Serge]

I agree with Doug. Volvo doesn't change their seats much, so I doubt they change the mounting.

thanks for the help guys, im sure I could fabricate something to make them fit, but what about hooking up the seat controls? And someone said he thought the s80 seats were too wide to fit.

Seat controls just need power. Everything else is in the module that is attached under the seat. Only problem I can think of is the SIPS airbag... but that might also work since I see no reason for Volvo to change that as well.

another thing is.....
why are you taking out T5R seats to put in regular S80 seats? unless they have suede..

P2 seats have a great deal more cushioning and support. They are also more comfortable than P1 seats. Atleast that's what I think everytime I sit in the S60.

[Aequitas_Veritas]

yeah, but I was thinking getting them refinished in sueade and leather, with yellow piping and stitching,

[Aequitas_Veritas]

that or just get my seats now refinished

if you do that...
i demand pictures....and i shall do that also

[Ivanfbi]

that would be expensive mod, but sure it will be great

[Serge]

I dont know. Uptill I started driving the R I agree whole heartidy. Actually I was convinced the first thing I was going to do was take out the seats and put in a set of S60 seats. Actually I had found a set of Ocean Race V70 seats... they are black leather, heated and have heavy blue stitching. I know where they are still actually 

My biggest concern was hooking the SIRS.

Ah yes, you saw the Ocean Race V70 at Volvosaab?

[dancetheman]

the T5R seats ain't bad though....but this would be cooler...
i'm gonna go down to a volvo dealer and test some seats out soon...

Werd! I'd love to put the new Inscription seats in my S70.

S60 seats might fit, but i'm not too sure about the s80 seats. My car is a bit wider, and has a larger interior, with larger seats. I know compared to my sister's s70 seats, mine are a great deal wider. It's worth a shot, because, they are darn comfortable GL to you.

My friend's S60 (may it live on in memorium) had the inscription s60 sport seats in charcoal gray, those were without a doubt the most comfortable and supportive seats that I have ever sat in.

I would think mounting the seat would be the problem but rather the seat belt. I would make sure that the mounting points are pretty close.
