I've not replaced them, but, mine has got the seats that the original Cerberas (pre LW) had in them.

So I at least know they fit...

I have just ordered some of Zertec's seats for the Griff, but they are the same for the Chimaera.

WHich ones did you go for.. the racing or touring...

do they go on the sliders thus adding hight or do they bolt directly to the floor meaning they are not adjustable ?

I don't have them yet. I went for the sports ones, as I still want to use the normal seatbelts. Mine will be base mounted onto the existing runners. They will actually be lower, not higher than the standard fit seats.

No, they don't recline - but then there's no room to recline them anyway.

They are lower because the seat cushions are 'thinner' (the frame and springing is replaced with a GRP shell). This also means the seat back is thinner so the seat will go back further on the runners. Not an advantage for the driver (unless you are very tall) - but Mrs Griff2be will be very happy that she gets a few inches more leg room in the passenger seat.
