Default eb or eb xr front seats

one question i got is, do these xr "bucket" seats work better than the standard seats for holding you in when taking corners. and what do u think is better the eb xr style ones were id only need the two front seats or the ed xr ones were id need the whole interior (i like the colour of the ed one)

EB/ED XR and Ghia seats look and feel alot more comfortable than stock. the regular seats are to soft and you sink into the seat. they do hold you in better to a certain degree but they aint no full on race seat. i would definetly upgrade to one if i didnt have them.

hahahahaha nah to be honest im not a big fan of leather to much stuffing around to maintain it, although i really like the feel of the seats as they have so much more comfort but then it starts cracking and stuff and i dont like seats that are part velour/part leather as it looks like the manufactores were to cheap to put full leather seats in. just my opinion not tended to offend anyone with leather seats.

Well, they're not too bad. It's just sometimes with long drives in shorts, they start to feel a little bad after a while
