You would get better answers in General Car Chat, or in the Ford Forum since I assume it is for youyr Ford.

I'll assist you and move this over to General Car Forum...

The seats are going in an 01 SS. I think I will probably go with the sparco torino. I'm open to all options but the seats have to be fully adjustable.

You looking for seats for the Cobra? If I remember correctly, they had the "elephant skin" look to them. If you want to stay stock, try www.stangparts.com . If you call, talk to Billy (if he is still there). They have a few 01 Cobras they are parting out currently. The 99-01 leather is alot better wearing than the older stuff, or you can just "borrow" the old interior (99 Cobra sheezy) out of my former and always dormant Mustang at RR. If going aftermarket, stay away from some of the el cheapo Tenzo R seats @ AE. Sparco makes a really good seat/rail combo and seems to be more colorfast compaired to my Corbau which bleached out. There aren't too many places around that have seats in stock that you can take for a test sit unfortunately.

But hey, if all else fails...just order some 2000 Cobra R seats.

Get some aerospeeds, the are made by recaro and are 200 bucks cheaper, just take a black marker and color out the aerospeed. the stitch will leave to many holes is you try and take it out, I was hoping that it would be like a silk screen print, but its not.

I have torino's in my eclipse. If you want, you're more than welcome to sit in them--PM me. They're extremely comfortable--even on roadtrips. I know all about trying to find seats--the only place I've been able to sit in a bunch, different types and manufacturers, was at NOPI nationals. Good luck, man.
