A bucket seat on direct fit side mounts sits as low as a Clio Mk4 will physically allow. Here are the two ways a seat mounts in one, and what both builds cost per side.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Land Rover Defender, with three direct-fit frame routes from Cobra, Corbeau and Endurance Motorsport covering all years.
What it takes to fit bottom mount Recaros from an Evo 5 into a Honda Integra DC2, why the two lowest DC2 mounts are closed to you, and the one measurement to take first.
Which Motordrive range, which size and which shell, answered with the seats on our floor and what they cost. Club Pro from £474.00, Race Classic to £954.00, plus the truth about how long an FIA 8855-1999 seat is actually good for.
Motordrive sent over photos of Ben Sharpe Racing’s Honda Civics on Motordrive seats. Which model the team chose, why it suits a caged race car, and the full range you can come and sit in at our Nottingham showroom.
How much movement is normal in a bucket seat, and what fibreglass, Kevlar and carbon actually change. Manufacturer weights for the same shell in both laminates, why an FIA seat is the heavier one, and the three different things the word carbon means on a seat listing.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Nissan GT-R R35, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe route that bolts each one to the factory mounting points and includes a sliding runner in the price.

A 2005 MG ZS+ 110 in XPower Grey, built the week MG Rover went under and bought nineteen years later. Two years of receipts in his own photographs: the hacked up loom, the head gasket, the clutch, the headliner done over a washing machine, and the forged turbo K Series still to come.
A 106 and a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats the customer already owns. Why the Sparco frame we normally recommend will not take them, the OMP plate that will, the Recaro runners on top, and the two bits of adapting nobody mentions.
The five reclining sport seats we rate for the Kia Sportage 4×4, with the Cobra direct-fit subframe that bolts each one to the factory mounting points. Runner included in the frame price.
Three mounting zones matter when fitting a harness to a roll cage: the harness bar for the shoulders, floor mounts for the lap belts, and a crotch strap point on the tunnel. This page covers what each zone needs and when to raise it with Custom Cages before the order goes in.
