Seat subframes or direct mount?

[Steve.humberstone]

Hi everyone,

I’m soon to be fitting a bucket seat in my 197, I’m curious of peoples opinions on either a seat subframe with mounts bolted on to it or mounts that bolt directly to the floor?

I don’t like to be too low in a car, from what I understand the subframe and mount option doesn’t go too low but how it compares to the direct mounts I’m unsure.

I also don’t need the sliding function as this is destined for track only.

TIA!

Direct seat to floor mounts are really simple to fit and you get a decent amount of adjustability. if it’s only you driving i’d just go for them

Thanks mate, do you know if the seat offset position is affected with direct to floor mounts?

It shouldn’t be a problem if you get clio specific ones. I’ve got some pure motorsport ones that I’ve had no problems with

I bolted Sparco subframes into mine then bolted the Sabelt seat mounts straight to them. From memory I had to drill an additional hole to bring the seat forward enough for me.
