Would you fit these seats to your car?

I badly want fixed back buckets, I just love how much more control you have with a proper seat.

Those are not exactly the same as the CSL ones

As the previous poster said, if its a daily, then no way.

I once drove 350km from MP to GP in the CSL, and it was torture.

Tough for the back seat passengers to get in and out? Normally I see the back piece fold and slide? These look fixed. The CSL ones look fixed as well , Do you have to move the whole seat forward? Manually?

It is the same Recaro seat with a thicker cushion and no harness cutouts.

The CSL has a tilting base that flips the whole seat forward, still a bit awkward to get in the back tough.

Doubt that roadworthy would check, but it is illegal to have fixed front seats in a car that has rear seats.

Still, I want me some support. I would live with the difficulty getting in and out for that. I don't find them uncomfortable, but then I do have a 34 waist.

If you are 36+ you might want to look into something like the Recaro Profi XL.

Not a fan of Sparco?
No, I am. The ones I sat in a while back were just too tight around my shoulders and loose on my hips. Will have to look up which model it was.


Sabelts GT140 was great around my hips and shoulders, but felt like it clamped my legs together.

Sparco also have a range of standard, L, XL and XXL seats. Just find the one that fits you right. ATS have the range, among other top brands.
