Promised the guys that I'd pop a bit of info on here about the new seats I've fitted to my car.

JKcomposites.com

Lightweight GRP seats which weigh significantly less than the subframes!!! Great product that they have designed specifically for the VX.

They even do the seats in Carbon Fibre is you require







Call for prices (ask for the low sided versions)

They fit the Standard runners and are wide enough for my average bum

seems ok

The vx ones aren't listed on the website. When I mailed them they sent through prices and options for the vx specific ones.

Really helpful guys.

Can they be used with the standard seat belt or do they have to be used with a harness? It looks to me like the lap part of a standard belt might sit too high given that it has to clear the high sides of the seats. I've seen a few VXs with these seats but they've all had harnesses.

What email address did you use? I've sent a couple of emails over the last couple of months and not had any response whatsoever.

I waiting for the picture to arive. Any quotes for a C/F version?
Would be interested in group buy, once the full information has arrived.
From JJJ's pictures looks like the angle of the tilt on the seat is much more than the standard seats and the front swab area higher off the floor. Might be all right for the track, how about every day use and comfort?
