GQ seats

Post by chimpboy »

Don't flame me please, I know that this has kind of been covered a few times.

My 1988 Maverick seats are still in one piece but the foam's kind of had it. I am doing a road trip soon and would like to put in some seats that are a bit more modern and comfy. There aren't really any aftermarket seats that grab me much, I am thinking more of some falcon, magna, commo, whatever seats.

I don't mind doing a bit of work to adapt them to fit but was just wondering what others have used and which seats happen to be (a) a relatively easy fit and (b) not too pricey.

Cheers,

Jason

2 seats thta Ive liked in the past were:
Suzuki GTi seat, good wrap around stability.
Nissan Bluebird seats: surprisingly comfortable on long trips and some had adjustable lumber support.

The Bluebird seats might even be an easy bolt up but the GTi seats would need some work.
What, haven't you ever done lines of International Roast off a hookers back with $100 notes?

Get a set of calibra seats they are comfy and they have a race support feel
Its just a prick to attach them to your rails
need some adapter things made up but if you can do that yourself its pretty easy.

Do they wrap around your shoulders a fair bit to make them feel sportier?

I've never been a fan of seats that do that too much; it's what I hate about most of the aftermarket seats (plus the way they look).

I sometimes feel a bit confined and hunched in them even though of course I am very slim ;)

A bigger problem, for the impending road trip, is that my gf gets shoulder pain from them. She really likes the seats in her BA falcon, and I must say I find them pretty good too.
