I'd go for recliners. More adjustment with them. Comfier. Usually look better aswell.

i have reclinable corbs and i had the fixed forza sport before that, i preferred the fixed ones alot more, theyre more comfortable by a long shot.. the reclineable ones i have now are good dont get me wrong but you have to try and find your driving position again if you let someone in the back

well no, depends what you want to spend, sparce do a nice reclinable leather in dark grey and yellow called a demon, but its like 985 pounds each from tweeks.

cobra do the misano in yellow but thats from 749 pounds each

yellow forzas would be 116.81 each, corbeau also make the subframes

hope that helps

It wasnt boosting properly Warren, only going up to 0.8ish bar.

I drove it Sunday and it was OVER boosting, 1.7 bar

Ive got a cobra monaco you can have for £30, totally wrong colour though!
