Which seats??

[bartebk]

Looking at getting rid of my cup front seats and getting something abit more supportive,not sure wheather or not to put in fixed or recline.Car does get used every other day for work etc etc.
Was looking at trendlines which seem ok but are still holding good money secondhand.

I've had Trendlines, Daytona's, and Momo's. The Trendline's are a great seat, but they only drop the driving position by 10mm and aren't that supportive for track work. Daytona's are good, but they look cheap, Misano's are far better and not much pricier

The Momo's are the best non-fixed seat I've used. So supportive, they really hold you in better than the other seats mentioned. I've got the RS2.

I have had Misanos and found them to be uncomfortable for people with wide shoulders. I swapped to fixed Cobra Imola buckets and these were far more supportive and i found them to be very comfortable even after driving a 1000 mile round trip to Amsterdam!

I actually bought a set of Daytona's but didn't put them in because of looking cheap and didn't feel that supportive,but I only sat in them out the car.

I have been looking at the imola's but still not 100% about fixed,if I did would have to get the GT option lol

I'd love fixed for track days etc, but don't think I could put up with them daily.

 

[bartebk]

Thats the dilema I've got,go to ring a couple of times a year and the odd track day so I'm kinda wondering the same,where did you get your RS2's from btw

 

[bartebk]

Are the RS2's the ones with the kinda square stitching/patches on?

I have just purchased a pair of the new cobra imola pro's, http://merlinmotorsport.co.uk/produc...edium=Shopping

[bartebk]

I got them 2nd hand, very cheap and mint condition. Lower than the Cobra's, and very solid.

Picture shows the the old imola s, but they are the the new imola pro

 

[bartebk]

Warren,Do they actually recline or kinda fold abit and slide them forward

 

[bartebk]

Are the RS2's quite a narrow seat,I read somewhere about if your over a 32" waist they can be tight?

I've used these badboys daily & had no problems, have done over 2 hours in one hit fine, the trip to the ring this year will be the true test lol

Custom subframes have dropped them 35-40mm lower than standard, driving position is ace Fixed bucket FTW!

What's kind are them like/price?

 

[Jamesstone]

£500 for the pair brand new! Sub frames are the problem though, i spent 2 full days making mine so that the seating position was spot on.. trial an error with these badboys

[bartebk]

Don't think I'd get my arse in them like,my mate's got some of them monaco's in and I nearlly have to shoehorn myself out
Been looking at imola's(gt width)
