How difficult it to fit the seats from a volcane into a "normal" zx, as I understand that they have some electrical adjustment? They've got to be more comfotable that the spongey things I have in my Dimension!!

I've never seen electrically adjusted seats on a Volcane. There should be two main differences between models:
1. 3-door and 5-door are different.
2. Newer ones have the pretensioners, which may cause problems.
Volcane seats are lovely, as long as you aren't too broad!

If your looking at doing a straigh swap they will just drop straight in, thew only differances I've seen is the rear seat corners are different from 3 & 5 door, but they'll still fit & the 3 door bases are slightly different, the outer slider is turned 90 degrees & mounts to the inner sill rather than bolted through the floor as per the 5 door.
The Volcane seats I swopped into my car dont have any elecs connected, they do adjust for height mechanicaly by means of lil handle near the drivers door (UK) though.
If you do make the swop, undo the rear bolts on the front seats first, because when you undo the front ones the plastic inserts they screw into usualy come out of the floor and jam up the seat slider mechanism thus preventing you from moving the seat foreward to gain access to the rear bolts. I also advise swopping the door cards as well unless the seats you get are a good match for your existing ones..
As stated, the Volcane seats are extremely good, both in appearance, support, and comfort.. I am very glad that I swopped mine over.. *tries (not very hard) not to look smug* lol..

I think it is only the posh leather ones that have electrical adjustment, like these ones on ebay.

It would appear that the only elecs involved is the ability to recline without turning the handle manualy?? It's not something we do very often so why did they bother?

there is only one useful thing I can think of with electric seats & that the memory function some have. I know a lad who six weeks ago took its car for a MOT & so far still hasn't found the position he had it in before. Also its useful when your trying to move mothers car, she sits so scaryly clost to the steering wheel, I can't get in, the xant would be useful if it had memory seats
