I am going to get some bucket seat sbut i am torn between the cassics from cobra or corbeau or the corbeau forza's.

How comfy are the forza's? i had a quick sit in them in halfrauds and they seemed quite comfy.

What about the classics? How supportive are they? because i want really good support really.

Also will the forza's allow people to get in the back?

Cheers

matt

I have the Cobra Classic Clubmans, and theyre nice and comfortable, whilst giving great support too.

Id recommend them... good value too!

If you want a pair of buckets to last more than 6 weeks, the avoid the clubmans! :tongue:

I had a pair in my old mini and the foam came away from the frame of the seat within a week!



The Corberu Monacco's are nice though!

I've got Corbeau Clubman 2000's. I think they're really good, nice lot of padding on the seat whilst giving good lateral support.

Thay've faded a bit to tho :erm:

I have corbeau forza's. Theyre very well build and sterdy seats.

Give great support but arnt the comfiest of bucket seats.

I'd say their more aimed at racing (FIA approved) but if your after a racey feel and dont do long distances, theyre very good.

And would look :sick: in a modern road going mini.

Ok, nice for a racer or whatever, But not a mini like mine with a fluffy carpet dash and deep pile floor carpet! :grin:

Ive got some buckets on the way, They are in a write off mini im getting delivered some time in the next day or two.

They are advertised as "Mamba" :lol:
I dont know, havnt seen them yet.

Any ideas?

My friend has Mamba's in his Mini.

They're comfy and seem pretty good seats. Pretty sure theyre just Cobra copies- Probably the same, made in same facory, made the same way!

But yea, seem to be pretty good.

How about the Cobra Classics ? (not classic clubman)

With a headrest I think they look good on a retro/original look Mini.

they are VERY nice. But offer ZERO support unfortionatly. :sad:
Thats why they are so cheap. THey are about £60 a seat in the mini mags.


The mambas dont look half bad. What can I complain about, im getting them for free! :grin:

Cheers for that TJenkos

I have a classic in my 1425 and it does give some lateral support, its not as great as either of my Cobra Monaco or Imola seats but its a definite improvement over standard seats!
