I had Willans 4 point harnesses in mine. Not bad really, £40 each from Demon Tweeks! Another bloody £80 that could have gone on the mortgage!

If you can stretch to it, get at least a GRP seat, some cheap buckets still have metal frames! Carbon seats are sweet but cost a fortune!

So the suzuka is a carbon seat i no there a little more expensive than the Imola, whats the Diffference with the Grp and the other stuff The Imola are made from its not carbon i dont think.
Also are the Imola Seats a good choise?

They are two totally different styles of seat. Ive got Suzuka's in my Corsa and the big difference between the two is that the Imola is more of a sprint seat with much less depth on the sides than the Suzuka. Suzuka has much deeper sides and is more suitable as a co-driver seat - one things for sure I dont budge even on the harshest of corners in my suzuka's but you do have to climb in and out.
Kevlar/Carbon is just fancy weight saving material, Ive got the cheaper diolen shell on mine and its plenty strong for daily abuse.
If you just want a daily car though you cant beat recliners. Sometimes I just get fecked off with mine as even when I nip down Coop for a pint of milk I have to climb in and strap myself in as though im prepairing for a WRC stage...
