Hi Chris,
77's rule! The seats that I have are the lowback fiberglass jobs like
they
have in the J.C. Whitney & Summit catalogs. I have the two-tone vinyl seat
covers with about an inch of foam rubber inside them. When I bought the
car the stock seats were ragged out big time. The seats are a bit on the
hard side with so little padding, but the have good side support and really
hold you upright when playing on the twisties. I really don't notice how
hard
they are until I take a long trip (60+ mi. or so).
Since I'm the only driver I didn't get the sliding rail kit, but I did get
the
'adjust it by what hole you stick the bolt through' seat mounts. The seats
went in just fine, plenty of room (door to center console). I think they
look
good in the car, kinda like the old Cobra barrel/bucket seats.
