seats

i'm researching some seats for my '68 beetle, and i'm on the fence between some nice comfy seats or some replacement lowbacks

anyone here got non standard seats in their beetle? what are they? are they comfy? got any pics? 🙂

Go the good ol Recaro's. you take the head rests out and you have a semi low back................Another option i liked is a brand called cobra, they make a low back seat.

you didn't see it when you were here did you ...... got it for $650.complete with 1640, adjustible beam,saas wheel, globe mags and one piece windows. not bad ay

nope, didn't see it, you said you had bought it though...not bad at all



but the seats...more expensive than i had hoped

maybe i'll just spin round to pick n payless and see what i can find 🙂

what colour stocko's ya looking for. i know of a red seat

black'd be the go
but i think i'd rather something other than stockies

i've heard that early 90s honda accord seats are decent 🙂

go to ya local jap wreckers........
A mate has a set out of a celica GT4.
another good fit is the honda crx seat

cool..thanks for the tips 🙂

I have had a set from a Subaru and a set from an Honda Integra

The Integra are sporty looking and real comfy but dont adjust as well as the Subes did.
The Subes were welded so i had both adjusters on. The also had a couple of other squab adjustments
The Subes actually fit a bit better. The Honda seats rub a little bit when you stick your hand down to pull on the hand brake or use the heater.

The Honda seats have better material and bolstering (side supports) though.

I just sold the Sube seats to some one here

You should be able to pick some thing up for like the $150 -- $250 mark

that $ is about what i was thinking...thanks 🙂
