hi i want to purchase some buckets but im not sure of the correct options to choose.

basically ive got a mk1 r, and i want some buckets. at moment still have rear seats in but they will be coming out eventually. but for now they're staying in whilst i purchase the buckets and fit them.

now, do i go for reclining or fixed back seats. 3/4 point harnesses? subframes/sidemounts?

any help will be appreciated, reps waiting!

well if you wanna keep your back seats you will need recliners, so people can get in the back

if your going to take rear seats out, you should go for fixed ones.
you will need sidemounts if they are fia aproved i think (not sure) but think i need subframes aswel.

Fixed back, then get sliding subframes if you want to keep the rear seats. 3 point harnesses if you are having rear seats, 4 if you're not!! If you wana be hardcore get 5 point harnesses and side mounts and strip the interior ;)

is it safe to use bucket seats after a crash?
