Default ok...seat issues...which one do you like?

some of you have read my new thread with both seats in. Well, I tend to be a perfectionist. As I said before, they hit the top pretty bad and scrape the t-top. Its a pita, and even though I said it doesn't bother me, it does. They have agreed to take them back, and since then, I have thought about these in cloth. They are a little more than the old custom seats.

Which do you like the best of these two styles? Same company, diff. styles...has anyone had any previous experience with arizen racing?

seat 1

or seat 2? The only difference is in the bolsters...

i would love to keep my other custom seats in my other thread but it just shouldn't be that way...they should fit in there better, just to let others know who are still interested.

Someone just posted these in another thread and they seem nice for the price. Have you looked at them? and they have a leather look.

The higher bolsters (first pic) DEFINETLY! Don't spend $429 for the same seat that you can get for $189 (yes, the pair) here:



Third row down, on the right, here:

Personally I am going with the leather for $399:

The only difference is the **** style and that the seats I posted DO NOT have the adjustable lumbar but from what I've hear the metal adjustable lumbar on the Arizen seats is painful... Just put the saved money into have a real/nice lumbar added if you really want it...

Did you get those seats from Arizen!?!?! I didn't think they made the Cobra knock-offs (the seats you have now)...

Are you sure you can't get the other seats to not hit the roof though?

Where are you located? I've made 4 different types of seats fit, maybe I can help...

I am pretty positive I can't make them fit right. They are 38" instead of arizen's and our stockers at 34", a huge difference when it comes to seat fitment in our cars. Thanks a lot for any help or info you can share!

I'm confused on your description of the problem? Can you post pictures?

I'm doing a set of GT3 race seats in my car. I'd love to know why you can't make yours fit.

Remember, these seats are a great price but are from the same company. The specs are the same, as stated on their webpage. Therefore, I will still have height issues.

I'm still REALLY confused... Did you get the Cobra knock-offs from Arizen or Mad Racing ???

I have never seen the Cobra knock-offs (the seats you installed) on Arizen's site so I assume you're getting them from Mad Racing but posting Arizen as an easier reference..

Also, as far as height issues, the Arizens seem to have no height problems (imagine them forward and I can't foresee them hitting a t-top the way yours do now):



Once again, show us some pics of how you mounted them, there may be a solution you aren't seeing...
