bucket seats your opinions comfort/access

[leesturbo]

looking at new seats but its a buy em then you might not like em scenario
obviuosly individual preference will vary from person to person.
but a few of you will have had the run of the mill seats by now
i.e affordable ones like cobra imola S's
i want your views on access in and out of the car and is the fixed back
seat a real issue?
looking at the suzuka i'd imagine thats gona be a pain to get in and out of
and the wear patches will be through in no time!

any real bargains found? looking at £400 for a pair of imola S

I don't think I could live with them as an everyday car, although my mate next door does. But again it's down to preference.

ive run cars every day with buckets.can be a pain.
also if your carrying a bit of extra weight you will struggle. ive put someon and wouldntr run buckets just now

Had Forza sports in an old nova, they were ok. Then I got the Sparcos in my new nova and they make most standard seats feel uncomfortable!!!

Money buys a good quality seat. On my Sparco I can change all the pads to suit!

Sparco's rock

My old Corbeau's were OK - although I could have odne with being a few stone lighter! lol

Lee: Have you considered something like Scooby seats? Have some in mine and they are great - good compromise between support and practicality.

Can't go wrong with a decent set of Sparco's imo. I have the pro 2000's and can drive to the 'ring without so much a sniff of any sign of backache

Got suzuka's in our nova! Great seats, great comfort and arent showing any signs of wear! Much better than the imola's!

Had them for about 3 years but have only been used for the last 2! Done about 1500 miles so far and we got them from Demon Tweeks, cant remember the cost but theyre actually cheaper now than when we got them!! The new Cobra Sebring seat is also fantastic had a seat in them at Demon Tweeks, really, really comfy but dont know how they will wear! A change could be on the cards though!
