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 ![rolleyes rolleyes](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) Just wanted some responses from people with other various seat types in there cars and how they compare? ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) 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.

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! ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) 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
