    Most supportive seat on OE fittings

    Just wondered what seat from Volvo's range provides the most lateral support and still retains the 850 T-5 fittings. If there is nothing suitable, I'll have to consider using the composite Corbeau race seat out of one of the old cars

    i think most volvo seats were built with safety & comfort in mind,
    maybe not the most supportive but quite good as a standard seat goes lol
    i changed my seats to bucket style things

    I would agree that the seats are fantastic in terms of comfort

    I just wondered whether, for example, the seats out of a T5-R were any better or whether the seats out of a newer model would fit. My Wife's V70 has better seats in her diesel but if I touch her car, I'm a dead man

    i think the 850 & v70 should be interchangable but i dont think the p2 v70 would fit,& im sure the later stuff wouldnt fit...
    although if you can get some later seats you might be able to make the 850 runners fit

    I've seen S60R seats in a 960 and they share similar seats to an 850.
