New Seats
hey guys and girls, im looking into puting some new front seats in my BG. At the moment im going for the autotechnica Monza line in all black. I was just wondering if anyone has them and are they good or would reccomend somthing else, the main idea of these seats is to be a little more supportive but not blowing the budget...probably look an no more then 300 per seat.
Thanx all

Honestly, the SP seats are WAY more comfortable on the arse and the back and offer more mid section support.
I have $700 Aerotech race seats in the front of my car and I still love it when I jump in my old laser (now my g.f.'s) with the GTX seats. Just for reference, the areotechs are heaps better than the Monza's (yes I've sat in the monza's many times) and as I said, the SP seats are heaps better than the Monza's too.

monza's are very flat in the back and base of the seat . i find them uncomfortable sitting in them for a short time.
if you want a seat look around for some second seats from a rex, rx7 or something along those lines . it will be a bitch to modify the rails , but these seats will be miles more comfortable then the monza's. even 300 dollars spent on each of your current seats would have them shaped to a sports seat which would be hell comfy.

the BA seats are some of the best i've every sat in. about all i'd do would be to get the tops reshaped.

Just get the ones ya got allready re done it will be probably cheaper and theres nothin wrong with them
ive got some black n grey monza ones sitting at home and havnt bothered putting them in. they have massive shoulder supports which means ya dont move around at allbut they do take up heaps of space |

how good are the corners round near there, i love it so much fun. the other thing to consider is how much u lay ur seat back the further u lay it back the less support around corners u have, as the force push's u sideways theres nothing on the side to hold u because its to far back and u end up slidin between seat and the seat belt

You guys need to take the old Pacific Hwy down to sydney to take a trip to Walcha Via Wauchope. That'll test out your seats
BTW, I'm still scratching my head as to how your falling out of SP seats. :S
