Sitting too low in a bucket seat? Every spacer and riser we sell, compared: the Planted quarter inch to two inch spacers, the OMP double height spacer, the OMP 50, 62 or 75 mm spacer kit, and the multi point side mounts, with where each sits in the stack, what it fits and what it costs.
Harnesses in a Porsche 986 Boxster for track days without a full cage: what the factory hoops are for, the Safety Devices bolt-in rear cage with its harness bar, and the seat frame for a bucket.
Can you fit a tow strap to a Mk5 Golf GTI when the factory tow eye is an 18 mm reverse thread? Yes, but not by screwing into it. Why our straps bolt on, why we will not sell a screw-in hook for that socket, and the three ways to do it, priced.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Fiat Abarth 595, with the Sparco direct-fit sub-frame that bolts them straight to the factory mounting points and why seat shell width matters in this particular cabin.
Can Sparco R333 recliners go into a Fiesta ST180 Mk7? Yes: the Sparco ST180 sub-frame at £93.00 a side, the Sparco sliding runner kit at £78.00 for both seats, and the R333 at £449.47, with the original seat belt buckle still in use. The full stack, priced, plus the honest word on seat height.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Volkswagen Jetta Mk1 and Mk2, with the Cobra subframe that covers both generations and bolts to the factory floor without drilling.
Can aftermarket heated seats be wired into the car’s original heated seat buttons? Not as a supported install: every heated seat we sell ships with its own loom and switch. What an auto electrician may manage, why we recommend the supplied kit, and every heated seat from Recaro, Corbeau, Cobra and Simoni Racing.
What the four, five and six point numbers actually count, why the sub strap is the whole argument, what FHR Only means on a listing, and what the layout really costs.
Eleven HANS-specific six-point harnesses across Sparco, OMP, SCHROTH, Sabelt, TRS, Willans and Corbeau/Luke, with 2-inch shoulder straps and practical fitting checks.
The five reclining sport seats we recommend for the Volkswagen Golf Mk8, built around the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts to the factory mounting points. Runner included in the frame price.
Fitting OEM Mk3 Recaro Sportster CS seats into a 2005 Megane 225 Mk2: why SW and KTR 345 mm patterns are not a 405 mm match, and what to check before ordering.
No direct-fit seat brackets for your Rover Metro or Rover 100? Start with a fabricator, then compare five recliners, compact bucket seats, harnesses and cage options.
