More head room than my old mk4 golf?You've got mk4 anni seats in yours which is why they are so low........I wouldnt mind being able to get my gti seats lower either, im 6ft 6 and the seat is too high. mk4 recaros are always an option as they go low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmanncfc Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 The standard seats were always a bit too high for me hence when i was getting my tt leather front seats to fit in i made it so i could slide back so far that the front backrests can rest on the back seats.They also go nice and low so i have loads of space inside.

Clairey Fairy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tbf the seating position in a 1.4/sport is horrid.You sit IN a gti, and you sit ON a sport/1.4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to look into some TT seats!Tbf the seating position in a 1.4/sport is horrid.You sit IN a gti, and you sit ON a sport/1.4.Pow correct its a horrible feeling!I may have a go at cutting some foam away from the bottom of the seat see how that helps. I'll hollow it out a little too so you fit into the gap. I May try it tomorrow - I'll post as soon as i've one it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tbf the seating position in a 1.4/sport is horrid.You sit IN a gti, and you sit ON a sport/1.4.but if i've got gti seats in mine surely its the same as a gti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bickerton Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I always thought my 1.4's seats way quite low. Do they really sit that much higher than gti or recaros? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 but if i've got gti seats in mine surely its the same as a gti?I know it sounds weird, but i'm really confident it's completely different.I don't think that just changing the seats is enough. At the risk of sounding incredibly thick I don't really like them enough to even care but maybe the floors are different?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherReeve Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I always thought my 1.4's seats way quite low. Do they really sit that much higher than gti or recaros?No they sit kinda the same, i didnt feel a difference when i swapped them over.

Clairey Fairy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't even think it's different because the GTi seats are more scoopy as it were, it really does feel like you sit on it rather than in it.I feel so much safer in the GTi than i do the 1.4. I feel all exposed and nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tbf the seating position in a 1.4/sport is horrid.Always thought this. I think my back pain is purely because of the ruddy car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherReeve Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I like the seating arrangement was always nice, you just dont sink into the seats because the foam is soo hard. Especially with a lowered car and when you bounce about the seat all night it sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
