    Looking at replacing my front seats, has anyone got any good feedback or recomendations, looking at getting fixed bucket for drivers side and recliner for Passenger side.

    Cheers in advance

    Ive got some generic racing ones, Advice? be prepared to buy custom brackets that probably dont exist, or hack your old seat frames to death and custom mount them.

    I likes the look of those, going to get a couple of old 165 front seat mounts then see how they can be hacked about and welded so I can mount new ones on.

    Still looking at ebay for some nice ones, if I could I would have the rears re trimed to match as well.

    Some good ideas.. cheers :D

    the OEM ones in the 4g are the most amazingly comfortable seat for me when you're that low down. the 5g makes me feels like I'm twisted :(

    The springs in my seats are a bit worn out, but other than that the seats are very comfortable, yes.
