Need advice on FIA seats.

The two i have in mind are the Cobra Monaco Pro, Or the Clubman

What seat fits the mini best and most comfortable ? Or any other seat brand suggestions.

This is for a MK1 Rally/Targa car with the door bins moved in for cage clearance.

Thanks Dave

I have the Monaco pros and they don't have a lot of padding on the base. I have had to make an extra cushion for each seat

As nick said I would recommend trying them before you buy. It just happens that cobra seats are made where I live so made them the easiest choice

Are you doing stage rallying or road? For road you don't have to have fia seats.
I have cobra clubman seats fitted, they are the comfiest bucket seat I have had. But be care they aren't FIA in case you were looking for stage rallying.

My other seats in my other rally car that are OMP are to wide on the head support.

On my other cars i run a Kirkey 14.5-15 inch wide and im 5-8.

Thanks for the info.
