Used to have Vaders in my E30. Never liked them and sold it on.

You will need to find some one to do the proper install into your E30 not some half past six job. You would'nt want your seat mountings to rip off in an accident otherwise its sayonara baby.

I was also never able to find a comfortble seating position with the vaders in the E30, always thought they were too high. I have the Mtechs now which I find to be much more comfortable and also like the ori look.

so much true... nothing beats the original Mtech seats for the e30.. even more better if it was the alpina's type...:love:

you vader seats was modified with a bracket sitting on another set of "brackets" thats why it was high, and yes i did saw how it was done and sat on it, and agreed that it was alittle high up
i didnt do mine that way, instead opt for a set of auxlilary brackets that didnt make the seat very high up
i also notice that the pre- and post- cars had different height of the seat, i.e. floorboards have different heights, but again, it could be your car that is different

also i would like to annouce to all not to go to DK leather as i had some bad expereinces

you got a FAT A$$ thats why you need a smaller chair to sit in......

i think you could'nt find a set of vaders thats why you didnt put it in your car.....

TEZ leather did a great job. But $$$...

ele....sure you can afford the Vaders in a blink....

the angle of the brackets i did was with alot of research, and lots of trial when making the it
the guy who made it swore he would never do another set of brackets for me again ....!!!

btw, it can still go in the e36 without any problems, but i think its perfect in the green hornet forever.......:top:

the painter must be brushing alot.....
