Annoyingly, a friend has some Bride Vios seats that he keeps saying he might sell but then keeps changing his mind. The only issue with them is you have to be a super skinny git to fit in them.

At the moment I'm toying with buying some second hand OEM seats in black and red, because I find the OEM seats comfortable but just fancy something a bit different.

Uktra Nexus, what seat rails are those? They sit so damn low! That is exactly how I want my Sparco to sit and give me as much head clearance for the rollcage.

Buddy Club Large and their S2000 seat rails and seat belt extenders and job done, simply and easily and at reasonable cost.

Tho' i'm a fat chuffer they are comfortable to use and you will feel in charge of the car!

Agree with all the others,

I've purposely gone for this set up as most passengers would bitch and moan about having to sit in a bucket seat, I also have to drive my 86 year old nan around once in a while.
Love my Recaro though.

I have never had a passenger moan and I have had some big people squeezed into my standard sized Buddy Club seats.

The alacantara trim on the Buddy Club seats wears away quite quickly so I had mine re-trimmed with leather, replacing the alacantara.



I use Bride seat rails but the mechanism for releasing the sliding mechanism is difficult to get to. Will be replacing the drivers side rail shortly with one I just bought from Ron

I've got a pair of old school Bride Zeta's that i'm going to have re-covered soon for my S.

Seat rails are next on my shopping list

How much is it to get the large Buddy Club Seats with the low rails?

I've been looking into getting new seats recently and was investigating OMP Champs or Recaro Pole Positions. Going by the specs both seem to fit ok

Not from UK but heres my S anyways. They put me really low in the car. I have a buddy whose 6'4 and before the seats his head was right at the soft top but now i swear there is probably 5-6 inches of head room for him.

Well after seeing those pics, the Buddy Clubs win on price/looks. I do like the black/grey combo.

I'll have a trawl on t'internet but has anyone any recommended suppliers?

Thanks chaps, much appreciated.
