   Rite... kind of sorting to start stuff and a list for the hopefully new purchase of a S and have been looking at Cobra imola seats but then when i sat in Sams at fcs, because of the adaption plates and side mounts and everything else they sat high and seeming im 6ft 2 or sumin my head was crushed. So looking at the corbeau sprints because they do seem pretty nice and they sit straight on subframes so would lower my head Anyway...whats peoples thoughts on them and has anyone got them?
   
   Cheers, will rep

   The Sprints are very good seats, but still sit quite high on subframes.
   
   I have the Pro 2000 from Corbeau and it is a nice firm seat

   I'm 5'8'' with about 4 ins spare above me sat dead upright, but that's without the roof lining! On OMP subframes which are level with the part the inside bolts attach to (next to gear/handbrake levers)
