   ok dunno much about buckets but i want some nice plain black recliners, with sub frames which will allow me to slide backwards and forwards and tilt forward to let people in the back, basically act like my current seats. and i want to use normal seat belts because the rest of my interior is staying too.
   is this all possible without spending a fortune?

   The raceland seats are good on a budget, and they do full leatherette recliners. The subframes are fully sliding and cheap too.
   
   Search for, I think, tuningleader on ebay shops. Failing that search for bucket seats on ebay and you'll find em!

   Whats your budget then? The Raceland seats are pretty decent to be fair.

   ok am considering the racelands in black alcantara but have some concerns. in the pics ive seen the material looks pretty saggy, is this the case or are they well put together and good quality? do they sit higher than standard vtr seats? dont wanna ruin the driving position as i like how i sit.
   my original budget was around 500, ive sat in cobra monacos i think they were and loved them. will i be disappointed with the racelands?

   there are plenty of companies who make decent recliners (corbeau omp cobra ect)
   and as long as you get subframes with pretensioner brackets you can use the standard seatbelts
   
   the quiality of workmanship will be higher than racelands on most of these
   they cost a tad more but imo its well worth it to have a comfy and functional seat

   what ive noticed is the racelands have a lever on the seat to tilt the back forward like a standard saxo seat. none of the more expensive ones seem to have this though?
