the mini is now equipped with 2 Corbeau carrera reclining bucket seats >_<

never had that elephant experience, hope you eventually get over it. as for them metal seat thingys yea you just need a union jack cusion to plonk on it first, should be fine. still an improvement over standard seats.

them kirky seats are actually pretty comfortable, there well shaped, not only for support, but for comfort too! we used to use them when we did lightning rods with an xr4i sierra >_< you can get some fitted padded cushion covers for them, but they dont make a massive difference lol

They're ideal for sprint and hill climb when you're in them for 2 - 5 mins, as lewis says when shaped a seat doesn't need padding. Take F1 they dont have cusions just a nice moulded to your derrierre seat and they sit for hours in them

:)

I actually find them rather comfy to be fair. They hold tight if fitted correctly, only problem with them is getting in and out.
