Default WR1 / Spec C seats

Hi All,

I bought a pair of WR1/Spec C seats yesterday... They look stunning, however they feel less supportive than my previous standard Bugeye STI seats… are these the same just a different colour or are they a different shape too? Cant work out if they just feel weird as I haven’t had seats in my car for a while…

Cheers
Sam

IIRC bug STI seats are the most supportive seats out of the STI, WR1 range I think blob STI/WR1 aren't as tight fitting around you......someone will probably correct me though

I'd give it a few weeks as there quite sought after and you may regret selling them, but I'm user you wouldn't have any problems getting Bug STI seats and money your way lol

Yes the S202 seats are the same as the Bugeye STi seats except in black, quite frankly the seats out of the Blobeye and Hawkeye are sh1te compared to the earlier seats.

Take a long drive in the later seats and you'll get out with backache, the earlier seats grip you far better in the hips and shoulders.
