Bucket seat suggestions for Mk2 Ibiza Cupra?

[ryand]

Trying to find a bucket seat to go in my Mk 2 Ibiza Cupra that is comfortable enough for every day use. Needs to be base mounted (ideally for easier fit to get a subframe for it) and have a high enough back to I can rest my head on the head rest as I am tall. Oh yeah, fixed back too, not recliner.

Shortlist at the moment is

Cobra Clubman
Cobra Monaco S

Sparco Sprint
Sparco Ultra

Thoughts/suggestions/advice would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance.

Corbeau Forza is mine (much of a muchness) and at 6ft that's comfy too. shoulder straps are in the right place, and the headrest allows a helmet (so it's not too close to the seat)

thanks mate, think i tried that one in halfrauds the other day and it was rock hard! might have been the forza sport which may not be the same though?

my stock seat back is angled so far back that if i had a shunt i would break my neck, so want a bucket that supports the head with or without a helmet.

if you have a seat that supports your head without a helmet it'll push your head forward with a helmet. so you're kinda stuffed usinig a 'race' seat without one.

mines 'hard' but still comfier than stock seats since I don't have to hold myself up

sparco pista (searchy) is very comfortable for an out and out trackday seat, i had one and am not as slender as i used to be and it was ace, pity it was sold as was the nova....

went to another halfrauds today and the forza they had was much comfier, pretty nice in fact! only thing i did notice was the the back had kind of wires in like the bottom of a bed (if that makes sense!) and you could feel them through the fabric - bit dodgy if one broke and went into your back?! is ures like the m0rk? any pics of ures in the car?

cheers

I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow. I don't notice the wires, and they're not likley to break
