The postman brought me these today!(Seats)



Seems strange how your rear camber has run out from one side to the other :S

was that the max camber they could get on the front?

If so i'd be removing the welded u of the dampers and using the stock bolts, that's unless your happy with a shade under -1 degree.

Run it for a while Luke and the springs settle, than take it back, the rear's 1/2 a degree out, so a 30 minute shim may be worthwhile, that will alter the toe too, but how much i'm not sure.

When you pop back down let me know and i'll pop in ;)

Daz,

Suspension was set up here mate:

Tyre 4 U Ltd (HawkEyeAlign)
7 Anglian Way
Southwell Road West

MANSFIELD
Nottinghamshire
NG18 4LP
Tel: 01623 66150

Im going to do them a thread in the dealers/specialists section as they are really nice guys.The set up cost me £45, however if your car is been akward (seized bolts/fucked suspension) it may increase as its not really a two min job. Mine was up there for about 2 hours ish!

luke did u know they are two different seats? stiching is different to mine too

Yeh mate, I was thinking WTF aswell. I dont know why the bimarco is above - however I have emailed bimarco direct and asked them if they changed the design at any point.

Either before yours or the new model to yours.

If they are replicas (which i doubt) then there getting sent back.

i would check with bimarco, the lettering design does not seem to be one of bimaco designs, also check the plastic bits where the seatbelts go through, do they have bimarco logos on then (engraved in?)

they look better without the rubber bits,
 
Seats look authentic to me, they seem to have these too:

However that's not a current or forthcoming design so either they have been made for someone originally and then sold on or they are old stock.

Thank you Tom they have all those bimarco markings on all the plastic bits and the sticker looks authentic... I'm surprised you haven't said:

"should have bought them from us ;)" yet LOL!!

Tom, I dont think it will look that odd tbh. I will put the one with the stitching on the drivers side as hopefully it will wear better. Iv emailed the guy i bought them off to try and get a bit of money off as they weren't really as described.
 
  Never above 25mpg
but surely by the time you buy the seats, subframes and harnesses you may as well baught some trendlines??


LOL, that's the whole point tbh.

Trendlines are overpriced for what they are!

These in comparison hold you in so snug it's unreal! I sat in James's from JMS Tuning and they were fantastic! Much better hold than the trendline whilst still being comfy!


Great buy overall matey :D
 
  Evo 8 MR
Nice one where did you order them from, doesn't look like you can buy them off that site?

Have to let us know how they are once they're in!
 
  Dodgy one
I've got -1.3 on the fronts and a fraction of toe out.

My rear was much like yours with the camber i think n/s was -1.2 and the o/s -1.4
