The back of the MX5 seats does flip forward but movement is limited as it is a very tight fit. In order to fit them I had to
1. Reverse the seats so the passenger one is on the drivers side and vice versa
2. Remove the integrated seat belt mounts (angle grinder!)
I was able to use the standard seat sliders that came with the seat to allow for front/back adjustment although they did require a bit of modifying.
In my view one of the big advantages of this seat is that it has a very sturdy steel frame and would certainly contribute towards safety in the event of a prang. A lot of the cheaper aftermarket seats are extremely flimsy being no more than a thin plastics shell with a bit of padding.
