Two Type LH seats in fabric, black only. Part number SS 72Z-X2, £502.50 for the pair. The LH Fabric uses the 345mm x 280mm bolt pattern and is also sold as a single-seat listing. This pair listing is for buyers who want both sides in one order.
The fabric trim has a warmer feel than vinyl and breathes better, which matters on a long drive or a hot day. The LH does not come with a headrest and the shell is black throughout; there are no colour options on the fabric version. Where a matched driver and passenger set in a clean black fabric is the brief, this covers it.
Both seats include sliders. Vehicle-specific fitting frames are not included; you will need one for each side, both on the 345mm pattern. Road and Track approval, all heights and all waist sizes. Reclining, base mount.
For a pair of fixed-back seats on the same bolt pattern at a lower price, the Classic Fabric (SS50Z, £165 single) is the most affordable option. For a pair of recliners with wider shoulder bolstering, the BS2 (SS42, £265 single) steps above the LH. The LH sits in the mid-range of the 345mm family.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker lists no driver size restriction on this seat, so it suits the full range of heights and waists. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
