Got some guide prices today:

Carbon Fibre Front, Fibreglass Back - £250 per seat

Twin Carbon Fibre - £325 per seat


Pad sets (5-off):

Leatherette - £59 per seat

I'll have to check that the above include VAT

Do these prices include all mountings? Cheaper with a group buy though! Seriously tempted!

They will use the existing subframes (both to minimise costs and keep it simple to change over )

just a quick question i take it these seats will not be able to use the standard seatbelts then? or can a slot be made so both can be used like on the vxr seats?

I'm not sure yet

If not they may be able to look at a lower sided version, but obv that would offer less grip

only reason i ask is i dont want to use harnesses all the time so would be handy to have both

Loving these . Just need to see some pics with the leather and hear some opinions from people who have sat in there. Im sure it will sway many buyers if the std seatbelts are easily used with these seats
Very interested.

Looking good so far Looks like there may be a problem for taller drivers though (that discounts me then!). If you look where the hip point would be its about the same as the standard seat in the middle of its travel. And by the look of where the headrest is, this is the seat in its furthest back position.

Well observed! Need to try before we buy!

Any more info or pictures people?

[mandarinvx]

Spoke to them today - they have sent out one to a customer for trial fitting, so should hear back soon (anyone on here ) They should be able to offer a lower mounted seat using their own runners for the taller people amongst us

[robin]

any news?

[mandarinvx]

As far as I know, they are now available to buy

[The Batman]

can you use original seat belts with them?

[NickB787]

Where can I go to try one?

Even better if their own runners don't rock back and forth like the OEM stuff.

any more news on these seats?

can you use original seat belts with them?

Looking at the pictures i'd say they could be used but don't think they wouldnt be very effective for the thinner driver

Looks like it will have to be the option Cliffe uses if you need to use both belts.
