They're nice, what are they?

Nice seats .

What's the support like on them as the base doesn't look that supportive unless its just the camera angle?

Very supportive, it's like the seat is hugging you. I had recaro pole positions before but for my size these hold me better. I always felt like I was sitting on top of the recaro's.

I've been starting to think about aftermarket seats for my S, partly due to having seen others sitting much lower in the car. I'm struggling to find a balance of my requirements though:

• Sit Lower than OEM.
• Maintain an OEM look as far as possible (Red/Black interior, with OEM red/black seats currently), inc leather if possible.
• No logos.
• Easy to get in and out.
• No less supportive, side-to-side, than the OEM, ideally more so.
• More ergonomic shape and more comfortable on long journeys, with good lumbar support.
• Standard seat belt.
• Able to fit heated seat elements like I have to my OEMs.
• Adjustable recline.
• Not hideously expensive!

I'm 5'10'' with 33 inch waist and not terribly broad, but I'd like bigger people to be able to sit in the passenger seat. It doesn't matter about bigger people in the driver's side though. The Buddy Club Sport doesn't look TOO bad, although I'm not a fan of the logos, and I'm not sure I could fit the heater elements.


I'd like to try the seats first, so if anyone near Bristol has any that they think would suit me, I'll happily buy a beer to try some out! Or if there are any shops down this way that anyone knows about, I'd appreciate a tip-off.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Money no object, I'd love to get some Bride Gias or Stradia seats, preferably the Bride Japan model Stradias rather than the usual Low Max models, but until then i shall make do with OEM...

Can you not just fit lower seat rails? Your quest seems pretty difficult!

MB

Not possible imo. Get some OEM ones recovered and use lower rails.

Ah, I'm clearly too picky. What about a compromise. Which are the difficult requirements to meet? Heating, I assume?

Okay sorry to revive the BC large seat fitting part of this thread but I've just tried to fit the P1 SE large seats and its pushed right up against the transmission tunnel and I really have to slam the door to get it to close because its right up against it.
Is this the same for every one? Also it takes alot of effort to even move the seat forward...
