Title: Bucket Seats- Recommendations
Post by: KieranM on March 06, 2016, 08:55:57 pm

I've decided that the standard seats in my ED30 are getting replaced with buckets but I have no idea what to get. What seats would you guys recommend? I'm 6ft 3 if that makes any difference and I'm not fussed about FIA stampings.

I'm 6.1 and use to have recaro spgs in a dc5. The seats are amazing and really comfy also weighed 4kg etc. Depending on arse size that's your only issue etc woman with wide hips and alot of junk in that trunk will not fit

Id most likely keep the standard seats for when I put it back to standard.

I did have a quick look at them and they do look like very nice seats. Im a pretty slim guy so it wouldn't affect me but I'd probably buy a slightly larger seat for the passenger just in case

Has anyone ever been in the corbeau club sports? They look like a nice enough seat and are silly cheap at only about £300 for the pair with runners and side mounts.

I run these in my leon K1, I'm 6ft 7 and they are very comfortable compared to the standard seats
