Help Me Choose New Seats - Lateral-g Forums

Guys which seats do you like? I'm looking to get some new seats within the next year and I've narrowed it down to these two brands...Recaro and Cobra. Whichever I choose, it will definately be black leather.

I also forgot to mention, if I go with the Cobra seats, I'm going to have them shipped directly to Recovery Room and get the insert that says "COBRA" removed. Sorry, I just cannot have a seat that says "COBRA" in my car.

The reason I'm sending them to Recovery Room is because I know they deal with very high end interiors and for a seat that expensive I will only trust them to remove the leather and make an insert, then put the leather hide back on tight and in a quality manner. I'm also going to be getting the Fesler door panels in which I will have them shipped directly to Tracy @ Recovery Room to have the matched to the seats.

Recaro makes a great seat, but that Cobra seat looks comfortable. I voted Cobra.
Good luck!

The Recaro is 36" tall and the Cobra is 34" tall. I think the shoulder bolsters are cut just a tad bit lower on the Recaro, which makes for the larger looking headrest.

Recaro $1890 and the Cobra $1500.

I was torn between the same two seats, both are very comfortable -- the Recaro's were actually bit better but I ended up going with the Cobra's as they weren't as tall and not to mention they cost less! I am with you on getting the Cobra logo removed haven't done it yet but will probably do it soon.

Yeah, I have loved the Cobra Misano ever since I first saw it 6 years ago. But, now I'm actually gonna pull the trigger and get them. Can you post some pics of yours in this thread? I would love to see some real pics instead of the itty-bitty pics on the posted on website store pages.

I will try to get some pics of another car with the Misano's...mine is actually in the paint shop right now....
