    I had a look at the shop these are from. Has anyone got a set of their coil overs? they also look to cheap to be any good? If their any good I may well be getting a set of them and slamming my vtr!!!

    My mate has the leather ones and they are great, although they are nto really leather, its liek a leaterette/vynal leather look, dont see creasing but they are VERY comfy

    Cheers for that... would it be easier to buy some grpN top mounts and a coilover conversion kit and run them on the standard shocks? I'll put this reply in their as well just incase were hijacking this thread.

    i found the bottoms (where you plonk ya arse) to be abit better than the standard seats, not by much but you could tel the diference.
    
    As for where you shoulders and back is, they REALLY hug you, and with harnesses it would be even better
