has anyone got these fitted in their car? also how much lower than standard do you sit? as im torn between these and the sport trendlines. need some help guys cause i need to start saving lol

 

[Gally]

Love the sportsters.

 

[gav_]

they lok the sex but a bit more costly, any ideas if you sit as low in them as you do wiv the trendlines?

 

[Gally]

Some foreign dud has fitted them, need to have a good search tho.

I think they sit a bit lower than the trendlines but still complaints about being a little too high.

 

[gav_]

ah fair enuf will ahev to look into properly when i get closer to have the cash for them need bout £3000 to get what i want done

 

[Gally]

Yeah they aren't cheap.

Evo trendlines are a cheap option.

 

[gav_]

what as in the seats out of an EVO? would they fit? what would i have to do about subframes

 

[Gally]

Just clio/recaro subframes.

Yeah they come up on ebay regular, they are mostly cloth tho no leather.

 

[ForceIndia]

Waste of cash. They look nice, but don't sit you low enough, and aren't supportive. The Recaro's re-use the renault subframe, so they'll never be low enough.

fair enough but i would want to be lower than standard but i dont want fixed back seats in case i wanna get people in the back

Plenty of better options. Momo, Cobra all do reclining seats.

 

[Gally]

Cobra daytonas are popular but think they might be all cloth aswell.

will you not have the same issue of using part of the original subframe with them then?

 

[gav_]

Nope, they use their own subframe, much lower.

Brand new, could get them for under £900 all in. Doddle to fit as well.

 

[Gally]

Very nice!

o another question, with those cobras what do you do about belts?

Re-use the original belts. You can put harnesses etc in, but not a great idea without a cage.

 

[gav_]

oh right where do they clip into? do they come witht the guides for belts?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The Cobras look great, just not keen on the stitched logo on them.
I think they'd be nicer without it tbh.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Worth an email to Cobra they might do custom stitching.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
Why is it not a good idea to run harnesses without a cage, Brown Bear?

Topic's come up a lot recently. Basically, with normal belts you can still move forwards etc, so if you roll the car you can get pushed forwards, and the roof won't crush your spine. Hopefully!
With fixed buckets and harnesses, your neck/spine could basically get crushed in a roll. It's why (Iirc) manufacturers don't fit buckets and harnesses without a cage (gt3rs etc).

 

[timmyd]

That makes sense...

They definitely DO do custom stiching, my mates work there doing exactly that.
