Replaced originals with the cobra seats,a little high in the seat cushion,headroom was very limited,although they looked great. Now the recaros are in,definitely the right choice, plenty of headroom, recliner makes it very comfortable and the side bolsters should really hold me in place

Which recaros are those?
i was thinking of going with the cobra lemans heritage.
was the big difference the mounts or the thickness of the seat pan?
These are the Expert line, the Cobras were mounted to the original seat tracks just using 1/8 " flat plate,so the adapter didn't add any height to the seats, it was the seat pan on the Cobras that was too thick,although they were flattening out with use,about 200 miles I put on them. For the recaros, I used their tracks and built a 1" riser adapter to fit the rails to. The big problem. With the Cobras are a fixed back angle that pushes the seat way forward, it was OK for me,but I'm short at 5'7", much taller would be a problem.
Thanks!
Those look good! Any tight areas fitting in between the doors and console? They look very tall? I've been looking at some Sparco seats for my car. I'm curios how they compare.
Not to derail the seat thread but can you post another picture of the door panel?! I would like to do something similar. I always thought the door panel was pretty boring.
