   Recaros are some of the nicest seats to sit in.
   
   Nice support for when you're hooning it and need the support and comfortable for normal daily driving

   ^^^^ as above. Recaro's are very comfortable, I'd have Recaro's personally.

    Cheers for all the comments, I know the recaro's will be way more comfortable for on road also! I'm pretty sure any recaro seat will fit as long as they're not too wide ! The one's im getting are out an old golf VR6 i think, And they are worth a good couple ££.

    Picked my recaro's up earlier and they are real nice ! Same style as simon's but the recaro writing is in blue and not white ? and there's one problem the drivers seat doesn't have the seat belt bit for clipping the metal part into? Will any fit? And what rear bench looks best with the front recaro's?

    The seatbelt pretensioner bit? Any that will fit securly and mate with the buckle mate.
    
    Id look for a black plain cloth bench not sure what you can get them out of though!

    Cheers db, the push button bit that the metal clip goes inside is off one seat yeah, shouldn't be too much hassle ! Might go for a vtr rear bench?

    I loved my Sprint's, but if you're having a full interior and perhaps regularly having rear passengers then the Recaro's would be a better option.
    
    If you have back seats then by law you have to allow the front seats to tilt forward to give easy exit in the case of an accident. Alex found that out the hard way iirc with a fine.

    I'm saying the Sprint's would need tilting subframes As i used sidemount's in a fixed position, as a lot of people do. And i believe for them to just slide forward's isn't enough.
