The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Ferrari F430, with the Cobra Seats and Planted Technology frame routes that bolt each one straight to the factory mounting points.
A hawkeye STI, a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats out of a Juke Nismo, and the question of what mounts them. The Planted bracket and Recaro runner we would use, and why Garreth wants photographs before anyone orders anything.
A six foot five bodybuilder with a 34 inch waist and a big upper back needs a tall, wide shouldered shell that is still standard at the hips. Why the XL seats are the wrong answer, and the four fixed back buckets we would put him in.
Three roll cages for a Ford Cortina Mk1 compared in detail: the configurable Safety Devices F003 bolt-in, the Sparco six-point that attaches by its feet alone, and the Custom Cages T45 weld-in historic kit. Spec, price and which one suits your car.
The Corbeau LE-Driver is the one seat in the Lotus LE range that does not bolt to the brackets already in your Elise or Exige. It is a side mount shell on M10 fixings, so it needs mounting worked out for your car. Here is how it differs from the LE-Pro, LE-Standard and LE-X, what the S1 M6 drilling job actually is, and what to sort before you order.
A Clio Mk2 owner with one Cobra Suzuka T wants a second, a size up, for the driver’s side. Cobra’s own dimensions for the Standard and GT drawn side by side, what 30 mm means in a Clio, and the frame, runner and side mounts that put a Suzuka on a Mk2 floor.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Audi A4 B8, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts to the factory floor points and includes the sliding runner. Plus the B8-specific airbag wiring note.
The question we get asked most: can you run a harness without a roll cage? Yes, two proper routes for road and track day cars, the E-marked clip-in route from £102.00 and the FIA route from £246.00, with the anchorages and the seat that make either work.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Audi A3 Mk2 (8P), with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts to the factory floor points and includes the sliding runner at no extra cost.
A customer sent in his MG ZS track day build: Sabelt GT3 seats and Corbeau three point road harnesses supplied by us, fitted on his own fabricated brackets over universal side mounts. The full setup, and why it made Garreth’s morning.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Audi A1 Mk1, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts straight to the factory mounting points, runner included.
Sparco R100 Vinyl seats in a Ford Ka Mk1: the Sparco Ka sub-frame with its bridge piece at £131.77 a side, the Sparco sliding runner kit at £41.94 a seat, and the R100 Vinyl at £282.00. The fitting order, the stack diagram and the pair price.
