On road (with some off) suspension seats.

[HotWheels]

I used Mustang GT seats in front and Colt Vista (folders) rear for my last build and I think suspensions eats would isolate my old Army bones a bit more and make driving more fun.

As I am looking to make a decision on a set of suspension seats for my daily (well as much a possible) ride. Would you guys please show us what you have and tell us what you think of them.

I love my PRP Daily Driver seats. The heat option is the bomb on those chilly mornings.

Sorry for the sideways pic......

I had a set of Corbeau Baja RS seats and they were very comfortable. I would highly recommend them and they are reasonably priced. Also I had a recliner strip out on the seats after a year and they sent me a replacement part for free. Always had good service from Corbeau.

The PRP daily drivers are probably a good bet. I have PRP buckets with super high bolsters - they are nice, but I'm good for about 3-4 hours in them tops. On a hot day you're kind of trapped and your back never gets any ventilation.

Corbeau Baja Ultra SS, wide version. If you can get your but over the side bolster, they are comfortable and keep you planted. I had one year after about 15 months, Corbeau replaced it with only a shipping charge on a new seat cover. Great service!!

I am going to move these to the crawler and go with the RS in the street truck

I have a set of early '80's BMW 320i Recaro seats in my '91 Wrangler right now (soon to be EX-Wrangler; I bought a '69 Bronco yesterday). I had them restored with Mercedes leather, and added heater elements; here's a picture sans headrests:

These are suspension seats and are very comfortable; unfortunately, everyone above the age of 5 now knows about these seats, so it's hard to find a "deal" on them...
Depending on your size, you may prefer one of Recaro's German competitors - Scheel-Mann seats. They have a certain "look" to them - you'll either love 'em or you'll hate 'em. My car buddy calls 'em "Puffy Seats" - he says he's gonna get me a "Puffy Shirt" like the one in the Seinfeld episode. I'm 6'2" and ~225 with long legs and wide shoulders, so the Scheel-Mann seats work better for me than the Recaros. I've searched ~5 years to find a set in original leather rather than the "corduroy type" material that most of 'em came in - just scored this set of Scheel-Mann 500's "off eBay" for $1,600:

The Scheel-Manns are suspension seats too, but they have wider "bands" across the bottoms. They were found in Porsches, BMW's, Ferrari's, and Lamborghini's too, if memory serves...

Mastercraft Baja RS. Awesome seat!

How well do these fit? Being 6'1" the factory seats are too tall. I get a neck ache when driving the bronco for any amount of time due to slouching over to look out the windshield.

 

[HotWheels]

anyone else have a post-celebration review of their seats? Who's got the sore backs & bums?

 

[welndmn]

My best advice is find someone that has the seats that will let you sit in them.
They all fit a little different and for the price of these, get the brand that fits you.

I have Corbeau seats as well. Feel free to stop by one day and sit in them. We can take a ride. Any excuse to take the Bronco for a spin works for me!

I went with the Corbeau XRS seats and am very happy with the way they ride. The cloth inserts have faded more than expected though for their age. Set fairly low to the floor.

No worries my friend. Post 'em when you get a chance.

I don't want to thread jack here, but does anyone know of a really low-profle seat that is aftermarket or at least easily found? Suspension seats are fine.

The issue that I have is the seats are way too tall in mine. I look right at the upper window frame, forget looking at the horizon. I can remount them, but it will still be too tall.
