Hi Guys,

within the JK composites website - are those seats the 'striker' ones listed ??

the measurements for the 'striker' seat seen VERY narrow at 35cm wide... when i measure the car it looks like i have say 39cm at widest point..

IF they are the 35cm 'striker' seat - is the 35cm at the leading edge of teh seat - where you bolt it to the floor nearest teh pedals ? what is the width at teh hips/ass end ?? they must be DAMN tight !!

Is your car a live axle or IRS Striker - they are different.
I can measure the seats as you describe, but I don't think you want these seats if your car is IRS.

Yes, they are "snug" :mrgreen:

My understanding is the IRS cars are wider than the Live Axle cars....

I've got these seats in my IRS Striker , I'm not sure how much the width of the live and IRS cars varies but there is not enough room in mine to fit a wider seat :(


I can take photos or measurements if that helps anyone .

Pete's right they are snug :mrgreen: although I did a 120 mile round trip last year with a 16 stone mate in the passenger seat and he didn't complain ( mind you I did have my ear plus in :lol: )

Hopefully they'll be three photos attached :) I've taken one of each of the front edges to show how much ( or little ! ) clearance there is between seat and chassis and one also of the seat back . I can take some from a different angle if you want ?

I'm about 5' 11" and 11 1/2 stone with a 32" waist ( feels like I'm getting a suit made :shock: :lol: )

HTH, anything else give me a shout

I've got the same seats, but I'm 6'2" and 16 stone but had to widen the butt area as I'm too wide, just put a reverse bar clamp near the lower belt holes and heated the area around to fixate it

It more comes down to the fact that I'm not built for a striker, but I don't like any others. :D
