Hi All, I'm considering changing the front seats to more hugging type seats, I'm sure I'm not the only one who slides about when cornering on the standard leather ones Just wanted some responses from people with other various seat types in there cars and how they compare? Cheers Austin

redd those seats look amazing in the coop. i am with nigel on this the hyundai seats are very comfy and hold you in the right places they make the hyundai's interior which is a nice place to be so should work well in a coop.

I have always loved the seats in Redds car, they are fantastic, but i wouldnt know where to start with fitting them, and Nigel the hyundai seats look very nice too, how difficult were they to fit.

warny, if u use the stock rails they will sit higher than stock. ive managed to get my mech to fit the cobras so they're the same level as stock but it took a lot of work and we had to butcher a set of recaro rails [from my old car] plus some custom brackets.
height was a major issue for me. im 6' 1" and with a helmet on i have to scoosh down in the seat or my head hits the roof.

Cheers Austin Have you tried a CG Lock before going the trouble of changing your seats? £25 from ebay. I've just bought one as I slip around on my leather seats and it makes a big difference!

I have Lancia Delta HPE '96 seats, see sig. They are identical to the LE/Plus ones but in alcantara, also height adjustment on driver seat. With the CG Lock I'm pretty stuck! Also great on long trips, like all Recaro's.

Nice Benny - Are you going to use a Harness with the seat or change the belt so it loops through the side hole?
Coupe now sold!

The seat came with recaros rails,you get 2 flat bars that conects to the cars orignal seat hols and then on top off that there is a 2 cm tall matel bar that concts to the seat rails.
what I did is -extened the flat bar with a welded matel bar .give up the 2 cm matel bar and conect the seat rails directly to the flat bar {now extended}
Ill try and post a pic
