For $375 what do you guys think of these? They're out of an NB, would go into my NA. Are they higher than NA seats too?

Haha don't get them started on those seats. There has been much discussion on those when they were up on trademe a month ago

Link to the discussion? I honestly think they're fairly expensive, but then I don't know what MX5 seats usually go for. My current drivers seat has a metal hook sticking out right where the base of my spine is.

I have some cushion thing that gets rid of that problem, but not too keen on having that behind me if I have a crash. Also my head sticks above the headrest, the top of the headrest is where my neck is.

Ross from MX5 mart bidded against club members to buy those seats then put them up at twice what he paid for them. It sealed my own personal view that after the bad service I've had as well as his high prices, that was the motive that I will never willingly deal with him again.

I have a similar problem where the top of the seat is too low to be of any use to be in the event of being rear ended.

Don't forget that is $375 not including GST!
At 6 3" my head is at the same height as my roll bar!
A shame really coz that would make it a style bar if it doesn't protect you right?
But I have similar views about Ross's service and business style as others on the forum, a bloody shame coz I'd like those seats and more importantly so would the wife... thank god she doesn't know about them!

I would be keen to find a way to lower the stock seat as im 6'5" and my knees are hitting the dash/head on the roof.

Thats a fair bit considering what he did then. Thanks guys knew it was a good idea to ask on here

I'll just have to grab a new drivers NA seat sometime and do a foamectomy. Be interesting as I've never driven one with it done.

If I ever bump into you then take my car out as I did the foamectomy last yaer

Furai, a foamectomy AND a 320mm steering wheel in a D shape will go a big way to giving you more room.

You should have a drive of my car when it is back running. It is very comfortable for me now (although I am only 6'1").

My issue is the dash and my knees smashing it, Im thinking about getting a thicker steering wheel spacer as I dont want to mod my seats they are nice and comfortable.

I'm 2m or 6.6. I did the foamectomy, best thing ever. Still very comfortable, maybe more so with a bit more lateral support. I added a 320mm wheel which helped get hands past my legs but I can't see all of my dash.

The foamectomy, do it. Highly recommend it.

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Mon Oct 29, 2012 10:13 pm

Kieran/Furai, I highly recommend the foamectomy. I thought it'd be mad uncomfortable, but it's actually nicer than standard imo. Sit lower in the car and it holds you in. You sit in the seat rather than on the seat.

Do it brah.

Such a good price!

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:20 pm

Have to be honest I want that centre but I dont think the weight saving is worth the money

That and I use the centre storage too much.
