I have a Sparco Evo (fiberglass) on Hardbar mounts. Thinking about upgrading to the Cobra Suzuka Technology. It's twice as strong, lighter, and the seat cover is alcantara suede with leather pads, which I think will wear much better than the Sparco covers. Only problem is the cost....$1700!!



Dont be fooled by imitations; with a 100% carbon fiber shell and the same Confor ® foam found in the space shuttle and Formula One, the Suzuka Technology is the most advanced all-around seat on the market. This seat was developed specifically for the exacting strength and weight requirements of top teams in the World Rally Championship. Its Carbon shell construction offers outstanding rigidity with a 50% weight savings while the Confor ® foam cushions mold to the driver, absorbing 85% of all initial energy distributing loads for the ultimate support and safety. The Suzuka also features Alcantara anti-slip fabric and leather wear patches for hard-wearing and good looks, dual independent leg cushions, and a deep sided ergonomic shape for maximum lateral support. If you are looking for uncomprimising performance and comfort in a racing seat, the Suzuka Technology is right for you. Exceeds 3 times the FIA 8855-1999 standards @ 63g. Standard width, will accomodate 5 or 6pt harness systems, and require alloy side mounts. Available in black Alcantara suede only.

Thanks, the car is going through a darastic change as we speek. Wont look the same at all. Since the car is a profressional show car, people like the fact it was signed. The main reason I had them sign the airbag area is if I got tired of it or if I sold it you can remove the airbag cover
