I haven't got them but my mate has in his blobeye, and they are really nice mate, great fit and feel really snug, his are red and black but exactly the same ones, only trouble I found is I'm a bit on the large side, (well 36inch waist 5ft 6) and I found they rub on my sides a bit lol

There is 2 sizes in them, but I'm a 32" waist so I think the smaller one would suit me well as they are recommended for upto 34" waist.
Come with side mounts and rails at that price too.

Got a set here to fit in my hatch at some point, Very snug fit but very well built seat, comes with side mounts and rails. if your well built you may struggle with the std size.

Yeah it's funny that?
It also says 'seat comes with runners and side mounts ready to bolt in complete kit'

Also by kode Motorsport which is a well known company and a authorised supplier.

Rob did you buy them from same seller. Also looks nice in car, did you have to make a plate width ways? Because seat bolts are too narrow for chassis bolts?

Mine came through a local company Red5automotive, They and authorised dealer. I had to make up subframes for each seat as they are very narrow bases. But they do come with side mounts and sliders as std.

These look great for the money, like 1/4 of the price of a Recao Pole Position!

They look great and a bargain at that price, what are they like for comfort and driving position, I like my seat back quite upright, not into laying back while I'm driving as it gives me back ache, also how low are they.

Ditchy, I'm sure with the side mount supplied you would be able to fine ajust it to suit.

I think your right, 3 holes front and rear and I recon i'd be able to pack the rear out with custom mounts too.

I also like to sit bolt upright, and these are perfect in that aspect, height wise not much lower than the std seats in fairness maybe around an inch lower, never really noticed all that much.

Comfort wise I wouldn't like to put a huge amount of weight on in the std size as they are very snug, not tight but not slack either. Hard to describe unless you have a sit in one. I've done 52 miles a day to work for a couple of weeks and there pretty much spot on, no back ache or pains.

General price is £159 each or £300 for pair, if you find cheaper then let me know as I have these on my shopping list.

So do these come with enough to install them? What the quality of the mounts/runners like?

Everything comes with it, but you will need to make 2 plates or 4 if buying a pair for the bolts for the rails to bolt to and then bolt to car holes as the rails are a bit narrow for the subaru bolt hols,
Look closely at robs pic on post 6 and 3rd pic down on post 10

Would these be a bit pointless in a road car? Can you use the standard seatbelts?

Use them how you want, if using standard belt, you could remove bolt near bottom door, feed through the hole of seat, the faster part you could wedge it in opposite seat hole.
Easy

I've emailed corberu to try and get a group buy going so we can get a bit of discount off if possible as I've seen there is quite a few folk interested and bought already with good reviews.
I'll update when they get back to me.
