Genuine cushions, but have been recovered - I didn't want ones with HSV or Holden logos on them!

These are great seats mate. I had a VXII R8 Clubby for a while (standard with these seats in cloth) and they were probably the most comfortable car seats I've ever had.... I don't really know why HSV stopped with them after that model??

They are super exy tho..... If you paid less than 2k for them you've done pretty well from what I've seen.

Shouldn't be too hard to modify the rails to fit a falcon!!


I too first experienced the coulsons in a VX clubby. Very comfy seat, more supportive than standards, but less supportive than the FPV GT-P seats.

Plus side, is the coulsons won't break your tail bone if you don't get into them properly. The GT-P seats have the cushions reinforced with metal rails, sit on them and you know about it.

haha, yeah seats like that can be a bloody pain, we had a malloo at work, like that, the seats were a joke, I'm a pretty skinny guy, and i felt squeezed in them, and getting into take the cluster out, did it twice, f**k it was painful.
I hope the gtp aren't as bad as these were.

The seats are in. Gave up on trying to mod the Commodore rails was too much of a cluster f**k - which was disapointing since the drivers one was electric and I was going to adapt that. Ended up having to heavily modify the old EF rails to get them low enough so my head isn't in the rooflining when sitting in the seats. All up I'm very happy with them! Just got to get something done to the rear seat now.
