What about making them recline? I would like to recline more.
just put a couple of spacers in under the front end of the support brackets, this is the same as making it recline.
That's a good idea, I shall give it a go.

All I know is the VX seats absolutely cripple me, after 30 minutes I'm in pain, after a 10 day tour through Europe, the pain is more a sharp stabbing pain where ever and whenever I move. The only reason I put up with it is because I love the car.
Theres got to be some better seats on the market though.

Been quoted £150 to add harness holes, a logo and re cover the bolsters on 'both' seats.
For a full recovering, £200 per seat.
Getting it done early March, just got to come up with some designs.

Will be getting done early March.

Well, the yellow and black are original Lotus Sport seats from a 2-eleven. So, Lotus is you're first port of call.
The composite seats are from JK Composites.
And everything else are standard VX's seats retrimmed.
