F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 4m 16d Location: North Brisbane Posted 28/06/06 05:31 AM Share Posted 28/06/06 05:31 AM I am toying with the idea of putting a couple of better hugging front seats and in the process, mounting them as low as I can to the floor. Right now I feel like I sit on top of the car - I am 6'5.............Just wondering has anyone sourced replacement seats? I found these ones in leather for $599 the pair which seems pretty damn cheap. What I concerned about is actually fitting my ample back into the things.Anyone got any ideas?

I know someblock from here put Sparco racing buckets in his T and I think that fast white car in Melbourne had a one piece seat?I suppose the biggest thing is it sturdy and comply with all the ADR's? Worst thing you want is a seat made of Balsa! Wonder what the leather is like???Lumpy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26452-replacement-seats/#findComment-399672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want a defect/non compliance sticker sitting on your car.

Im chasing the old skool look in the big fella.I paid $3200 for them about 3 years ago. Roman Autotek installed them for me, took them all day! They will bolt into a XA - XC, but to fit a BA will require new mounts fabricated.If anyone is interested, drop me a PM.
