i used to have corbeau forza sports with sabelt harnesses and they werent the comfiest seats on long trips but i certainly felt comfier sat lower down and you dont tend to move on corners but they were a pain in the arse trying to get passengers in the back

Loved my sport seats, good holding u in, just need to recover as spotty covering is pretty shitty
fixed buckets good, but not good if ur gona do a long distance drive, what if u get back ache, u can't adjust the angle to help it
recliners, i got me some (off e-bay the cheap ones people prob never go for because they don't have a name like sparco or corbeau) Cost me £230 delivered with corsa b subframes, in black alcantara.
I'm very happy with these, are comfy and look good, 3 days delivery from belguim too !!!!!

well i did get a quote for having the sport seats trimmed front and rear. no one can go in the back because it rubs like fek and i like it stripped out tbh
when i sat in chris c's i felt like i was leaning forward for some reason?
i think sparco do tilting subframes ?

They aren't very elegent. You have to crawl out of them, after anything longer than about 30 mins you will probably get out of the car on your hands and knees

hope it works, this is where i got mine
plus my mate got some white leather look ones (althought the leather look is actually really good, not like vinyl type stuff)
corsa b subframes do help with fitting but with driver seat and hieght adjustment thing u need a hammer and grinder but they go in eventually

I'd say get recliners. Best of both worlds, good looking seats, and if needs be, getting in the back wont be a problem

I would never have buckets again. I had fixed Cobra monaco's in my old corsa, i drove from Wigan to Santa Pod and was paralysed
So buckets are a big no no from me - If i did change i would get sport seats retrimmed.

if you get scooby seats you will have the same problem as me....they dont fit. iirc Matt H has some and he had to cut the door pockets too.
With mine the seats dont move forward or back due to there being so little room between the bottom of the bolster and the sill plastics. Had to get them where i wanted them and that was it.
Only downside is i have to sell my car to another person who is 6ft 3"
