if they are hurting your back then they are affecting your driving so get rid of them. but if they look nice and you can handle them, keep them.

Ive had monaco's before and agree they are very harsh on the back.
Have now got the cheaper cobra clubmans and they are far more comfy imo.

i'd try selling them for a bit more then save a bit for some nice reclining bucket seats. fixed buckets aren't there for looks or comfort, they are light weight race seats. Don't get the calibra leathers as i think they look shit. but thats my opinion.

If they are the ones i'm thinking of yes, do they have the fia stamp on the side???
But they are just cheap ones.
Get some nice recliners, or just sport seats, the calibra leather looks pooh.
