i have em but have yet to install them in my 92. dont waste your money on their crappy seat adapters to use your stock rails. there was a huge thread on corral about how these adapters make the seats sit too high. as far as the seats, for the money they're definitely worth the cash. ill post pics when i finally get the seats in..gotta have mike(injected66) modify my stock brackets to work with these seats.

I've had these seats in since December..They're all right, you get what you pay for..The sit very high, so if you're tall its going tuff to fit your legs between the seat and steering wheel. Unless you tilt the wheel like a bus driver..

they're not bad at all and reclineable. the key is getting the right brackets so you're at the right height. with the apex brackets, my knees nearly hit the steering wheel and from the outside you can practically see my torso(or seems that way).

I got these about 5 years ago when I had my Saleen. They were Cobra Daytona seats. I had them recovered in a two-tone with the Saleen logo. They were very comfortable but I remember them sitting slightly higher than the stock ones also.

Do you remember how much it cost you to have them reupholstered?

I don't remember exactly. I bought the seats from paperflamesracing.com but they are long gone now. They were not cheap that's for sure. I think they were around $2k for seats, reupholster, embroidered saleen logos, harnessess, chrome seat adjustments on boths sides, and rails.
