Hi James - does that mean your BC's are the Medium fitment or are they the large. Looking to do something similar myself but will probably need the large ones as the diet is not working. Any feedback on comfort, wear etc now you have had them a while.

Thanks

You need to measure the male part of the buckle's diameter. If its 27mm then it should be fine to get it from that ebay seller. I tried a few others and they didn't fit.

Take a few measurements and then compare what you've got to what's on ebay. Take a photo and post it on here. I wouldn't of thought honda would randomly change the design but a fella i contacted in the US said they defiantly changed the type in US cars.

Redun who used to be on the forum had an SPG on the drivers side

IIRC SP-Gs block the centre console and rub the door card

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the delayed response, yes I went for the GT size which is the large. I'm 6'1, waist 32/34 not massively broad but not stick thin either. I'm still extremely happy with the seat and buddy club seat rail. Yes they are a bit of a pain to fit, but I'm afraid that's the nature if the beast with the s2000s small cabin, plus the tapered centre console doesn't help!

My s2000 doesn't get used to offend, well not in the winter anyway. So I can't comment on the wear. But I think as long as you look after the seat and watch how you get in and out (to avoid contact with the bolsters) you will get on fine with them. Although if I was using them every day I would think the novelty would wear off. Purely just getting in and out with the room up as there isn't much room. But I love the feel from them and the position from them. Definitely one of my favourite modification!

If you close to Dorset then your more than welcome to come and try!

James

That's where I got mine many moons ago...

I still have BC XL size in mine. Brilliant seat and not much I would change it for, as they are very light.

I have Recaro pole position's, love them! more comfortable than a SPG as you have more room for your knees with the wider supports! very light, look good, durable & comfortable! one of my friends has bride zeta III's they are seriously uncomfy in comparison but they do offer more support! mine are mounted on buddyblub rails with takata harnesses fixed to a spoon street cage
