New seats? I'm thinking.

Hi all. I got rid of my old kit car seats a long time ago. They were really uncomfortable. Lacked lumbar support, thigh bolsters or any torso side support.

I had new seats custom made to fit my car:

The new seats are really comfortable but came with some comprimises: I sit about 2" higher and 2" closer to the steering wheel.

So I'm thinking of starting again with some configuration between the original Cobra style buckets and the ones I had custom made.

An original bucket with a little more seat padding, better thigh and toro bolsters and better lumbar support.

So, are there any suggestions of currently available Cobra style seats or a fiberglass bucket that I can start with?

Cheers
Greg

Something happened to the pic of my seats. Here it is:

Accurate reproduction 427 seats are actually quite comfortable IMO. They need to have the rubber spring thingy on the bottom for some flex to the cushion. KMS makes a nice seat, more comfortable than an original seat I think. Pricey though.
I have Sube Cobra seats in my Hurricane. Less money than KMS and pretty comfortable as they have a rubber thingy under the cushion. The base cushion is a little long compared to original's but gives better support. They have a little more roundness to the back which gives you more side bolster. If you knew someone local who had them, you could try them out. I know some of the FFR guys use them.
