Alternative Front Seats?

ash_g said:

Morning all,

I'm looking to change out my standard seats in my 90. But obviously cannot afford exmoor trim prices. I've seen quite a few people fitting Mazda RX8 seats quite successfully but the 2nd hand market are all looking pretty tired now.

I'm thinking maybe some Mercedes A Class seats could fit.

Does anyone have any experience with these seats? Or have any better suggestions?

Why? What is wrong with the standard seats.... I'm yet to see an improvement over a standard style seat.

That's because you've yet to install a set of leather RX8 seats, until you do you will not understand.

Very doubtful, I want access to the battery and/or tank without having to get spanners out. Seats also need to be robust and suitable for a 4x4 and laning. I also don't want seat risers at all! Good condition standard seats are the perfect seat for a Land Rover. Comfy and fit for purpose.

Oddly enough, seat risers are a must for tall people. They get you further from the pedals, and in a 110 mean you can set the rails further back.
