Hey I am looking at buying a seat for the mini and i dont know what to go for. Im looking at either the Cobra classic low back seat or a fixed sparco seat. What do people perfer and which ones are the easiest/ most simply to install?

Can i see some pictures of different options/choices that you guys have gone with?

Thanks Blake

Hey Blake i have a pair of cobra classics in my mini and i reckon they are great (the wife does`nt like them :roll: ). Very easy to install but you do need the subframes and they cost extra. You can get them in material or vinyl. Got mine from revolution race gear in Mitcham Vic. Hope this helps good luck

i had those exact same seats and they are great (the saas ones). they are sitting in my garage at the moment doing nothing . . .

i switched to a fixed back race seat but had to make my own subfram for it to attach it to the standard mounts

yeh i was looking at the cobra ones from revolution. Just out of curiosity what did the frames cost? I'm only looking at getting the one seat at the moment.

Yeh ive seen similar recaro seats on ebay for a couple of hundred.
