What bucket seats to go for?

  1. #1
    Thinking about going for the stripped out look again, got two choices in seats.

    First option is these which are cheap and come with subframes....

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COBRA-MONACO-F...QQcmdZViewItem



    Or go abit wilder and get some of these cobra evoloution which are a fair bit more but come with side mounts and harnesses, but i will also need to buy subframes...





    The second set is second hand but in mint condition and the bloke says i dont have to fit subframes if i dont want to? Just bolt the side mounts to the floor?

    please dont do that. If you want to see what happens to a seat when the floor deforms in a crash then I will find you some pictures.

    the Monaco S' looks much nicer.

    For the fact that you get more for your money and its all there ready to fit so Id go for them plus the money factor would be hard to egnor.
  6. #6
    id go for the second ones
  7. #7
    Sparco Torino 2's in black & silver, no questions. If i was to go with buckets it would be those although it looks like ur going for fixed back ones
  8. #8
    Yes i deff want fixed back ones, its not a bucket seat to me if it reclines.

    I like both the second set look alot more hardcore and i think if im only going to but one set go for them right? They come with harnesses but i would need subframes, the monaco s come with subframes but i would need harnesses (which arent much)

    More opinions wanted please!

    I prefer the second set, its only going to be another 100 quid max on subframes maybe? And they look a lot comfier and supportive.
  10. #10
    I prefer the Monaco's tbh.
  11. #11
    I think subframes from the cobra evo's are £170 ish.

    I have had the monaco s before found them quite nice, would deff get them in grey this time though, or maybe black....

    if your going for cobra they have a massive sale every year

    cant think when though

    only thing is is that you have togo collect them from cobra factory
  13. #13
    like the second mores more tbh
  14. #14
    Cheers for the tip Hessle!

    Whens the sale though, anyone know?

    Im deff going for cobra seats just unsure on what ones yet...
  15. #15
    The second ones imo.
  16. #16
    Oh yeah and if you select other, show me what ones....
  17. #17
    save some more and go hardcore with solid carbon seats.

    Second hand seats, NO NO NO.

    After twatting the car a few years ago, the seats were thrown.

    Price of a seat, cheap compared to not being able to walk after an accident.

    Not impressed with the double use of mounting the harnesses on the third pic. Very dodgy!

    I can ask the bloke if it has been in a crash he is not the sort of bloke to lie to me....

    Would the monaco s suit my car better in black or that colour up top ^^
  22. #22
    i would get the top seats, the bottoms one are ok for just track use but for day to day driving they are abit hardcore, plus you may find it cuts your visability down for looking out the rear and rear side windows having such big side struts

    Valid point mate ^^ Thanks
  24. #24
    monaco s for me mate!
  25. #25
    In black or grey?

    Im thinking black now? They are a fair bit cheaper!
