PHATKE20S Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Here's a few options that are "bolt in" * Early KE30 seats('74-'76) with KE20 rails * Autotechnica race seats with KE20 rails Although with the KE30 seats the 'recliner' lever slightly fowls on the rails lever (nothing that a bit of bending wont fix....) I have also found with the Autotechnica seats that you may need to put a small spacer on the outer side (Between seat & rail) depending on the seat shape. I have used 2 different styles of Autotechnica seats & only 1 style needed this spacer (only 10-20mm) due to touching the 'B' pillar, therefore restricting seatbelt function. Hope this helps with your search for comfort...... Cheers Dougy Edited February 20, 2010 by PHATKE20S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TE278U Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 ke20 rails will attach to ke70 seats without modification. you will need to remove a plastic cover on the seat for the adjusting mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robj Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I bought some Autotechnica seats, they fitted but sat too high. And they were a bit wide for me, I prefer a tight seat. I ended up with Mazda RX7 series v seats, but had to modify the seating mounts. That is, don't line up with original holes. These seats sat a fair bit lower too.

son of stig Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 supposedly Suzuki Swift GTi seats are a straight bolt-in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATKE20S Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 supposedly Suzuki Swift GTi seats are a straight bolt-in I have a pair of the GTi seats (series1) so I might have to check that out...... As far as KE70 seats go (I forgot those in my earlier post) they need to be the early type because the SlantyKE70/AE71 seats use a different rail setup (they're mounted on the side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dougy Thanks ill see if i can find some cheap Autotechnica seats, it happened to be coincidence that you replied in this thread, as the car I might be getting seats for is you old KE20 (I'm buying it off Dan) I might see if there are other more subtle bucket seats though.
