After market seat options for the elise/exige s2 - LotusTalk

Gruntilla · 01-12-2009, 11:50 AM

Hi all

I'm looking at replacing my seats soon, and i'm not sure how limited my options are due to the width that will actually fit in the car. I know that i can get the Lotus sport seats

or the tillet B5s

I was wondering what you guys have done over on your side of the pond?

Thanks for that Toad, i have seen the mog, reverie and hangar 111 options. I just wondered what other seats people have fitted and had experience of in their elise/exige

so this seat costs $1000 but only saves 5.1lbs? am i reading that right? I was hoping for more a weight savings... not very compelling.

The mog's are super, cheapest carbon seats our there (when I bought mine, 2 mogs = 1 corbeau...) very comfortable, have driven 600 miles non-stop (except for gas of course) and was fresh as a daisy, a little deaf mind you..and provide very good support on track.

It's a great seat though. Weight aside, a supportive seat is one of the best mods you can do to your car. I've got Sparco's in my other car and they are coming with me when I sell the car.

Right. Plus it is made for a 5 or 6 point harness, and from the description it sits even lower than the stock seat. That is goodness if you're tall and don't want your helmet to stick above the roll bar when on the track.

We've got a new Cobra seat coming that was designed specifically for the Lotus. It is very affordable.

We are sorting both fixed brackets and brackets that will work on the stock rails.

Find more information on our Blog.
