Personally, you get what you pay for.

At the cheaper end of the scale, id go for the Cobra Daytona's (about £200 for a pair off eBay inc. subframes). With more dollar on eBay you can pick up the following, which will all fit with a suitable subframe:

Recaro Speed's out of an Evo 1-4, or Integra DC2
Recaro Trendlines out of an Evo 5-7, or Accord/Civic Type R
Recaro 'epic ftw' seats out of an Evo 8

I run Corbreau Forza FIA Buckets in my mini, excellent seats but they arent a budget seat like those.

Also what seat to consider depends on if your using harnesses or not, if your using harnesses in a clio you need to make sure the seats are saloon car rated as they are the only ones which will accept a harness coming from the rear seatbelt anchorages as the angle can cause some seats to snap in cases of collision.

Another thing to bear in mind when buying buckets is a lot of them are MSA approved only not FIA approved or Kite Marked. Some track days wont let you on track without standard seats or FIA approved buckets. Only an issue if you want to go on track obviously.

All the seats sir dave mentioned are really the ones to go for, Cobra seats are good too but more for thin people imo!! lol

Cobra Daytonas look comfy, just rather heavy

I type in evo 8 seats..and they all look the same as the ones i posted you the link to mate!

I could always get a really light bucket for the drivers side, then a daytona for the passenger.

You really dont like the corbeau boss seat i posted?

Not really, but seating is very much a personal choice.

'Over' Covers are available, but new seat facings would cost a fortune.

They look nice when they are installed

The first lot of trenlines are nice, and are very close to me too!
Just a shame the colour is awful, seat covers an option?

 

[medici999]

beat me too it!
