Some nice SAAS seats will be wayyy comfier than than the horrid monza thing's posted.

Sit in them and wriggle around alot, bucket seats in a 4wd can be worse than stock seats if you don't fit nice and snug as well as get nicely supported. Lower back especially.

You will end up with bruised kidneys from the "wings" on the back rest smacking you about, your sack will get caught between the wing and your leg as you try to slide out instead of step out...

I've also seen a couple of seats where the leg support is slightly raised fitted into 4wd's.. They are more designed for a street car with the seat slammed on the floor being no good in a 4wd as your constantly hunched up from you leg's being raised and trying to lean forwards to see up the climb (hope that one made sense)

And well fitted seat means you can focus more on driving rather than holding on, fantastic investment in my eyes.

shakes speaks the truth about cheap seats, a good sports/race seat will fit like a glove, be firm, but be comfortable. you really need to sit in a few seats to get one that matches your frame, the momo's that i ran i could easily do sydney to adelaide stopping for fuel only in just over 14hrs and after getting home i could quiet happily drive another 14hrs, being in a relaxed comfortable driving position goes along way to avoiding fatigue & bad posture causing you to be unhappy at the wheel.

the other one with getting in & out of high sided bucket seats is squashing your ball bag between your thighs when dropping into the deep bucket, it would bring a tear to my eye everytime.

the chairs in the vitara are just that, they're definately not the nicest seat out there & one day soon these are taking their pace in my zook.
