Show me your after market seats!

[Gene Wilkes]

I'm considering replacing the stock 911 seats with aftermarket seats. Would like to see photos and various types that Pelicanites have used to replace stock! Opinions would be nice too!

[FrayAdjacent911]

Those were in the coupe I bought last year. Transplanted into my Targa. They're very comforable, if your ass isn't too wide, that is! Don't know where they came from or what model they are. But I like 'em!

[Gene Wilkes]

They kinda look like Recaros.

[Chuck Grieb]

Cobra Misanos. I love 'em.

Recaro SRDs. Very comfortable, have harness holes in case you plan on driving on the track, good support, and after 5 years, still look like new.

Corbeau Forzas installed in my track duty 944. I got them because they are/I am cheap. $200/each + sliders. There is a thread on the 944 board that claims ~1.5 inch extra headroom over the stock seats - I didn't verify.

I was not able to sit in them without my helmet touching the ceiling. I removed the cushion and it was fine. FWIW, I think I sat in the stock seats with my helmet and no problem, but can't remember.

They are tight with the cushion in. I'm 6' - 36" waist. With the cushion out, you gain 1" headroom but they are really tight. They were great on the track however. With the belts I absolutely felt held in.

They are Recaros. The badges on the seatback even say so.

I don't know much more than that about them. The adapters they are on are weak... Might see if I can find something more solid.

I know Recaro makes great seats, but I have to think there are equally GREAT seats out there for a LOT LESS $$$!!

Cobra Monacos in my track car. They were FIA approved, steel framed. Could use a little more padding in the lower back, but were light and inexpensive. Lou

Len911, Mark from Cobra has a GT3, I think you probably paid for the door handles
They are based in my home town and I do some work for them.

A nice family run business and nice people.

Axvel-how do you like those Sparco's? Which model are they? Are they as comfortable as they look?

[axvel]

JonT I love the look and they way they grab me on turn but getting in and out my girlfriend and my dad hates them. I really took time in measring and remeasuring my back from low to high and making sure that i will fit, since there is no way to actually go somwhere with a nice showroom and try them out. They are Sparco Fighters. They are very light. I enjoy the looks and wouldnt change them for anything, but forget about the comfort, although i drive the car everyday i got used to them, only avoid getting in into your friends 997 and you'll be fine.
