    Recommend me some bucket seats

    Spoken to twglet and olly about seats and they recommend the corbeau revolutions but i am a bit hessitant to buy seats with the wrap around ears like they have.

    Had been thinking of corbeau pro-series seats or cobra suzukas as these are similar to the others but without the ears.

    I have sat in them all and find them all comfortable so i am really not sure what to go for.

    The ones with ears make getting in/out of most cars an absolute c**t.

    Imagine trying to walk through a door:

    1) Without opening it more than four inches
    2) With your knees stapled together
    3) Naked

    After having 'entry' level Cobra Monacos, I always wanted the revolutions as they looked that bit more purposeful & hard core.

    Er- go and sit in some and see what you think. The fit around you is far more important than looks.

    And if this a proper toy car you're only gonna get in and out twice, and you'll be spending a lot more time driving it. So teh eras thing I reckon isn't really the issue. That is of course if your'e gonna be driving it like a man (track days etc).

    Oh - I've got some Sparco Evo2's and they're good for the 'slightly bigger' person.

    I have a Corbeau Pro Series as the drivers seat for my track car and they are quality, would definately recommend it.

    Re: Recommend me some bucket seats

    ill swear by my cobra monacos and 4 point harness's from the day i should have died to the day i do die, sounds heavy but it isnt.....

    i spanked my nova into a big tree at 95mph, rolled end over side for 120m and landed on the roof, the police were amazed i lived let alone stood there chatting to them, i had some bruises and 2 minor cuts but even an xray couldnt find me broken, best £550 ive ever spent (for the pair)
    theres no such thing as a simple mod, tweak that bit then that wont reach, to change that this needs moving....... it never ends.
