Nope, not unless it's a high roof :D

Pajero suspension seats are very tall from the floor to the seat base.

a swb car will always be a bumpy ride regardless if you put spring loaded seats in it or not. Sierras are not a comfortable ride no matter what you try and do. By fitting a spring base I reckon it will actually make it worse. Fitting a set of good quality racing seats or the like with good padding and side bolsters would make more of a difference in my opinion

him be right... it does!!!

my SAAS units rock... even with three dodgy discs...
mind you in and out over the side bolsters can be a little hard at times..

I'm not a professional (these are apparently the "pro" versions) so can I get amatuer versions cheaper, I don't have $109 to spend? :roll:

Recaro should be having a field day suing the pants off of all these guys with copy SP-G's for sale. I swear some of them are just photochopped to remove the recaro badge.

If the seat does not have an ADR approval, you are on your own in relation ot insurance cover etc. This goes for american seats like PRP's and Beards too.

also, maybe I am getting soft but I am finding that fixed race seats are a bit aggressive for off road driving. (certainly in a suzuki) Don't get me wrong, I love the support, but I am starting to find that the bruising around my ribs is an issue, however, my Sparco is 10 years old so I think the padding is getting a bit long in the tooth- ,ight be time for an upgrade.

I run Sparco Sprints in my sierra, and a Recaro SP-G in my commuter.
