When you have a crash the seats that don't have anti submarine design will have their seat base deform as your bottom tries to slide forward and the body tends to slide under the lap part of the belt instead of being retained by it. I think another aspect of it is that your cucksic/spine can be injured if it happens to impact with seat frame.

Ok thanks for the info, hope I never get to find out though lol
 
No sweat. Being a VW factory option, I'd put money on it that your seats would have it. I don't think the cobras do. They are amazing seats that you have. They'll probably give you a lot of feedback as to what the car is doing. I noticed when I had a set of cobras in my leon every wee pitch, roll and braking and accelerating force a lot more than over the standard SE spec seats.
 
ok fitted the Konig seats and installed the loom and switches, switches arent illuminating red though, ive checked from the power source (grey\blue wire) and theres 12v, need to check the cable from the switch end and see if its getting 12v but dont know which are the illumination wires

in this guide it says connect to live and switched, but ive only got one live cable not 2 ?

think the wires have been labeled wrong, the earth is the permanent live to fuse, the live is the earth, and there only 1 wire for the lighting and the other is to switched live

making proress now
 
All in and working now

I actually really like them and they do look good, heated seats just in time for the winter aswell, only think i miss from my old seats are the full electric adjustment.
 
[QUOTECheers, thanks for the LCR front bumper and the LCR alloy :)

No problem. Was your mate interested in the black trims? Don't worry if not just thought i'd ask.[/QUOTE]

He is but it's the usual "got no money" situation. If he gets his act together and you've not sold them I'll pm you mate.

Cheers

Out of interest how much more supportive are the R32 seats?
Are they the same weight roughly as an S3 or relatively light?
Just been offered a full set for £800 and wondering if they are worth it
