If they are going in a proper stripped out car for track use etc you'd be better off with a hard wearing cloth instead

as said, stripped saxo with leather seats, wouldnt look right, alcantra isnt very tough and gets dirty easily.

Also, Ive sat in the raceland Buckets. Theyre very comfy, but theyre very much a bucket seat for the looks not for the practical side, they dont hold you much better than std seats.

Ive got sparco sprint fives, sat in a lot of bucket seats and for the money I think theyre the best, I was lucky enough to find some second hand but practically new. Carbon/fibreglass ones are the shit but they cost a bomb and its not worth it for a road car saxo imo

alacantra like a suede kind of material. Well i have just placed my order anyway.... i went for the alacantras. Yea Ben i can understand what you are saying but tbh, i dont want to spend stupid amounts on them as i am trying to also save for an S lump at the same time as getting my car ready for it all. Cheers for the responses everyone
