They’re not huge seats and the bolsters on the sides are less pronounced than some of the other offerings but they are still robust and I’ve had others who are larger comment that they felt tight.

Those fixed seats look the part but I’m. It sure is want to be in them for regular driving.


Also, for a later car, I don’t think most of these seats will look right save for the bottom two. The rallye seats and the Nurburgring look great in long hoods but might not fit an IB car. That said, to hell with what I think- do what makes you happy.

Thanks for the feedback. Also trying to not over think it

I ordered them direct from Europe.

At your size I think the Torinos and the Val’s are going to be a tight squeeze and uncomfortable (at best) on longer trips.

I like my Sports seats a lot, the bolsters are supportive during (very) spirited driving, and I can be in them for 8-9 hour stints to get to rallies/events. The only time I’ve craved something a little more bucket-style (like a Scheel 101) is on the track, but it’s not terrible. I’m 6ft 190lbs, for comparison.

My seats (reupholstered by the PO + bolsters too):

I’m starting to think the 930s might be the safest bet. I’m hearing a lot of positive feedback on them. Curious if anyone has any negatives to contemplate?

Never heard of these but I’ll check them out. Just what I need, another one to consider /s lol
