KPD Seats??

[ashbudd7]

Hi all,

I'm coming up to the point where I need to weld in the seat brackets and wanted to buy the seats and runners together to position it all correctly. What I wanted to know is, has anyone bought or had any experience of the KPD seats recently? I did see, though, an old post on here about them being a bit flimsy but that was a year or two ago if I remember correctly. I've also considered the "soft" seats from kitspares but I wasn't too impressed with the photo - the vinyl upholstery looked all loose?! Open to any other seat suggestions, but I don't want to spend a fortune, to give an idea, I saw the JK Composites seats and pads but was going to make the pads myself (well get them made by a family member :-)) to save the cost, and again although lovely looking seats, they are another £100 without runners. I've also seen the triton seats but again they are a little bit much at the moment :-(

Thanks

Ashley

I'm planning on using a couple of center rear seats for a mk1 renault scenic. They fit really nice width wise and attaching the runners will be easy too. I'll just have to do a bit of work to re-cover them.

That looks like a good solution, just had a look on eBay too, not badly priced either. Think I'm leaning toward the grp seats though, just not sure on which ones!!

Cheers

I went with the KPD ones, they seem ok.

There may be an upgrade in the future , but that will be the same with a number of aspects of the car . engine, wheels, seats, etc may see attention over time as funds and ideas allow.

Yea, I was thinking that too, there will be many upgrades in the future and as long as they're not dreadful (what I was worried about,) then I think they're worth a punt. Cool, cheers TT

The seats & runners I am using are from KPD. They seem pretty good for the money. Have a look at the picture below to help you decide.
