ive got the cobra clubmans in fabric not leather and find them really comfy i dont know if huddersfield spares are any good cause i bought mine of a club member.

I sat in some cobra classics (shown in the first link) in a mates car, and they were too tight for me around my bum and hips. Now, please bare in mind im 20, slim and fit, even if i do say so myself. My backside is also perfectly sized and not large.

They were too uncomfortable for a 20 mile ride around some back roads, so i couldn't abide them in my actual car.

The clubmans are much more sturdy and comfortable in my opinion, having also sat in them too.

Hmm ill have to do some research now...

[rimmer1993]

I've used my cobra classics for a long journey back from a show last year and they were the best seats I've ever been in for a long journey.
They also look great

Cobra seats are sh!te, wouldn't let one anywhere near my car. They used to be ok, but the quality has gone way down hill. Corbeau are miles better.

Massive generalisation there!!! Cobra make some really good looking and comfortable seats, but this doesnt apply to all their products. Cobra Rosdster 7's in my opinion are some of the most comfy 'buckets' around and in my opinion are the best looking seats on the market today.

Cobra LeMans are also excellent. Very huggy and exceptionally comfy but look much less boy racer.

Corbeau make some great seats too though.

I love my cobra classics, they're really comfy and supportive. I'm pretty fat to be honest and fit in them just fine!

The quality could probably be better but mine have taken a fair bit of abuse over the last couple of years and haven't ripped/fell apart yet.

I'm toying between Cobra classics and getting a set of original seats from newtons for my 1275 gt hard decision to make

Cobra Classics!

Its a shame they dont do the Cobra Cubs in the same sort of colour theme

It is a fact, that Cobra seats are bad quality and badly made. Ask anyone in the know, any trimmer etc. If you put a Cobra and a Corbeau seat side by side the difference is massive. I know Cobra seats are comfy enough and look nice, but Corbeau are better. If people are willing to put up with these substandard products that are flooding the scene then I guess I'm wasting my time.
