NICE seats! They look really good in there!

More details, please!

What kind are they, can you install the heating elements in there, cost, etc...

Regards, Maurice.

Thanks! The seat are from ROTtec. They cost a pretty penny...solid carbon fiber, reclinable with grey stitching and cross stiching. They are available with heat..........$$$$.....I opted to go without. Not for the weak of heart, rides lower and stiffer and I lost all power and heat and about 50lbs. NOT plug and play, but fairly simple to install.

Thanks for the details.

Also nice that they are reclinable, and 50 lbs is not insignificant!

They do look good!

No doubt they will hold you better during racing or spirited driving. How do you think they will feel during extended periods behind the wheel?

How much more difficult (if any) is it to climb in and out of the car?

Thanks,

ddb

I'm still getting used to getting in and out...can't just plop down the same as I used to that's for sure. Not a big issue.

They feel great to me, I think they would do ~pretty good~ for an extended drive 3-4 hrs. These, the springs, the 19's and the wevo motor mount make for a "very connected" ride.

I actually think I might've lost more than 50lbs on the car, closer to 70.
