I've just fitted the Minispeed one onto mine and its made quite an improvement.
I have MG TF seats fitted so they're lower than the standard ones, therefore the drop was well needed.

I did however fit longer bolts than they supply due to it being too much of a fiddly operation to get the bracket screwed into the receiving holes as its a moving plate!


most deffinetly investing in one of these

thanks a bunch lads/lasses and my airbags inactive anyway as i have a omp steering wheel on


Do you still have the original?


I second this an to pass an MOT now, any car that came with an airbag, must have it fitted and functioning (ie, the SRS light goes off after start up)


i have a relay fitted into the airbag wire so when it starts up the light does its checks and goes off as normal

Unfortunately I believe the new MOT states not having an airbag fitted when it came off the production line with one is a reason for rejection. The lamp working properly isn't enough any longer.

The rule is only a couple of weeks old. I think a lot of people will find it to be a problem.
