ive got some GRP seats , early MNR ones.

a sod to fit (curved base) but incredibly comfy. I've added some handmade cushions to sit on for extra comfort, (but mainly so I can see over the MNR aero bulges!)
you wouldnt think 'comfort' to look at them but they are really nice.
the trick I found, is to look for ones with a recessed spine area.
I tried a set beforehand that didnt have this and it was horrible.

Got some mk ones in mine. East to fit using the 4 m8 captive nuts in the base of the seat.

I've also got an MK full height seat (they are copies of Caterham seats) and I use a rear cushion only. When strapped in with my 3" Willans harness they are very comfy. I found the angle of the seat back can make a difference to comfort.
