Seats

[Brian John]

I am looking to replace the stock seats and hoping for suggestions. I prefer the low back seats though a seat with a removable head rest would be nice. On long cruises my right leg falls asleep and just are not comfortable for me.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What is your car number? Can you post pics of your seat so I know which one you currently have?

A headrest is very difficult in a "Cobra" seat because it limits how far back the seat can go. Depending on your height and/or size it can be a bigger issue.

I replaced my seats. Went with Procar Rally. I had to lower them about 2" by rework the slides. Seat images are in my profile. I also had a problem on long rides with my right knee leaning out. I made an alum brace the Velcros to the tunnel for support.

Friend of mine just bought a daytona kit from factoty5 - those seats are way better than mine.

Not ignoring the responses I have been traveling will get back with pictures when I get home.

Those look nice.


I am 5'10" 195 pounds but need some room for my tussle. The Factory 5 seats I tried squeezed my hips, not very comfortable.

Those look nice. Did you purchase the vinyl or leather seats?

Thanks.
I went with the vinyl. I had to flip the seats due to the location of the reclining handle. I also moved the e-break. So far I'm very happy with them even with all the mods that had to be done. Im about the same size as you and the seats fit good.

So I bought the Pro Rally seats, it was a tight fit and took some thinking to get the seats in but very happy with the finished seats.

Took the car for a long drive Sunday and no issues with my big bum or leg falling asleep.
