Default Thinking of some Corbeau or Sparco racing seats.

How is the adjustability of these seats to and fro in the seat. Also, which are the most comfortable for long duration trips? I want comfort and the ability to move the seat up and back and lean it back. Thanks.

If you want the best seats with the best features, most color options, best comfort, and still great style... check out the Sparco's. They're more pricey but worth it if you can swing it.

I'm planning on seats as welll and as this is the best one I've found so far......my second choice would definitely be Sparco Milano/Torino's.

I LOVE my Recaro "style" model seats.. very comfortable (not squishy but supportive). If you want pass throughs get the "sport" models.. they are the same ones that came with the Cobra R.

On advantage my Recaros has was the options of power/heat and cooling. Plus they look pretty OEM.. not cheap though ($$$$)

that Cobra seat is nice.. I wonder if they would leave their name off it though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I like the Sparco Fighter and Torino 2. Do any sponsors on LS1Tech carry these?

These are probably one of the most comfortable seats from Corbeau.

I need money for a house, so I'm selling mine if you are interested <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Second vote for the Cobra's. Those look like some SWEET seats. Just remove the "cobra" stitching and your golden. Love how the seat adjustmants are in aluminum. Awesome.

This is a very old post. I went with the Katzkin leather covers soon after I made this post
