   Hi,
   im thinking about gettin some bucket seats.
   is there any recaro/sparco/omp tht u get for like £200 a pair? they look so much better but so much more exspensive
   
   also do u hav to buy the subframes or can u make them fit the standards?
   
   Cheers

   i paid £265 for mine and are really comfy for road use.did a 6 hour drive in them and had no ackes or pains couls have sat there for another 6 hours. and they came with sliders just had to get subframes. lucky enough got some off here for £40. i recommend www.sprtsseats4u.co.uk or .com they have budet ranges and service is really good. and extra bonus they have a ebay shop that allow best offer so u may be able to get them a little cheaper thro that too.

   About the cheapest branded seats are Cobra Monacos, at £110 a seat (last time I checked).
   
   Although you can get RMD seats for £100, they aren't a well known brand, and aren't FIA approved (apparently they are up to standard, just haven't been tested to keep prices down), and they're a copy of Sparco Evo/Pro2000. Not to mention how light they are, especially compared to the boat anchor Monacos.
