THey are the cobra cubs, I have cobra classic lowbacks (although they do come with headrest if you want some for more $$)

I found that with these cub seats above, the sides are not as high so there's less or next to no support when you pull some g's around corners. But they are better if you are slightly portly...

yes i find that my posterior designates what seats...

i did have a pair of late model cobra race buckets...they were lovely and i just fit when i bought them... not a year later! oh and the minister of finances womanly hips didn't fit either...

so now i've got some hyundai getz seats going in... very comfy.. halfway through the install (custom bracketry)

Why not a set of MX5 seats- cheap, not hard to fit, and are comfy.

just grasping at straws here, but what about the toyota yaris?
I got a yaris hatch, and the passanger seat does the whole fold and slide forward thingy!
They're nice and comfy, and dont have any of the electrical stuff in them either.
just a thought. :D

When you get a chance, could you be kind enough to measure them?

The old Suzuki Swift Gti seats are great, and the New Swift seat will also fit.

although i am fitting them... i should add that i would not recommend the hyundai getz seats...

they're comfy, but only just fit width wise and they're bases are not even heights on their runners.... it's becoming a real headf--k with the bracketry but it's not going to beat me.

i drove an mx5 for a few months (ex gf) and i'd get their seats if i was to choose again. but at the time i got my getz seats in perfect condition for $150 and the best mx5 seats i could find had a tear and were 500!

anyways whatever you chose good luck
