Will a pair of 1993 Disco front seats fit into a 1988 90 without too much trouble or are there some better options?

I would have thought that the bases were too think (high) & sit you far too high??

I stand to be corrected though

i think almost anything will fit if you give it a go.

Ive just fitted some heated leather seats out of a volvo 960 into mine.  You do sit quite a bit higher but nothing to complain about.  Only cost me 21 quid an all!!  just had to cut a inch of the back of the runners and drilled a couple more holes in the seat box and seats fitted.  it cost more to wire them up to timed relays for the heaters to work.

Got rover seats in mine, much more comfortable. Sat a little higher but no bother with it. The only snag is when you need to disconnect the battery you have to take the passenger seat out, but its something I'm prepared to live with.
If theres a harder way to do it I`ll find it!!

Can't see the problem i find Defender seats really comfy.  I am 6' 3" though so no way I could have Disco seats in mine.

My 110 has Discovery seats in it, fitted by a previous owner. They are each mounted, complete with their runners, on two pieces of flat steel. These are then bolted down to the front of the seat box into captive nuts and to the rear lip with two hinges. By undoing the two front bolts the seat can be hinged back to access the battery on the passenger side. On the drivers side on mine, the side of the seat box has been cut away to give access to the storage space there.

They are generally very comfy and by keeping the original runners they have a good degree of adjustment (although rear seat passengers suffer for it). The only minor drawback is that they are much broader at shoulder level, which means that they restrict access to the rear door lock buttons. It really is only a minor problem though.
