What are these like?
Cullens car has the aftermarket seats and rails... he's looking for standard ones. Offer a swap maybe? You wouldnt want to be the biggest guy in the world though, tight fit.
The main reason I fitted these seats was cause of the HUGE weight saving over the standard items,. I can see why you would prefer the standard seats from a comfort and usability perspective -for the majority of the time I had this FTO I didn't even bother having the rear seats fitted. The best way to improve performance on an FTO is to loose weight.
If I was to do it again - I'd have fitted better quality Sparcos or Recaros etc but at the time I was doing so much work to the FTO that it seemed a more reasonable option.
You should have no problem getting hold of seats - just make sure the seat pattern matches on the rears or you may need to consider also getting matching rears (very easy to fit).
Alternatively try get hold of something like the Type R Recaros from a Scrap yard. Dragonheart on here has a set in his FTO and they are very nice indeed. If you're going to the effort of replacing the seats you may as well fit something different - its not like the FTO OE seats are fantastic or anything - Personaly felt they weren't very supportive.
