Default Recommend me some seats...

been looking at cobra classics for the mini, but cant help looking at proper full on bucket seats.
the car will be used for track days and fast road use, i want to keep it comfortable enough to drive to the 'ring
i dont like complicated messy interiors so im going for simple, clean and classic look so the classics would fit in well, and i had a sit in some at demon tweeks and was amazed at how comfy but yet supportive they are
going for the high sided version with head rests btw, so no snapped knecks hopefully
what do you reckon?

for those who donk know, these are the classics:

When my mate had his mini he put corbeau forzas in it. They fitted a treat. We tried out classics like you've picture above and they were really uncomfy.

just to add, we've got sparco sprint 5's in the 205, and they are great for competition use, but would be unbearable after an hour or so on the road, espec in a mini with next to no suspension

i find most of the bucket seats are a pain in the arse quite literally after an hour or two. I ended up sitting on the soft bit just over the harness hole... end up slunched down too low and then the soft bits on the seat get worn after 5 minutes... On the other had I had some viper racing seats as a little test for a civic I had, they were 150 quid for the pair and recline... comfy as fuck and i reckon they will suit a mini!
