i vote cobra.

The Recaro is 36" tall and the Cobra is 34" tall. I think the shoulder bolsters are cut just a tad bit lower on the Recaro, which makes for the larger looking headrest.

Recaro $1890 and the Cobra $1500.

I was torn between the same two seats, both are very comfortable -- the Recaro's were actually bit better but I ended up going with the Cobra's as they weren't as tall and not to mention they cost less! I am with you on getting the Cobra logo removed haven't done it yet but will probably do it soon.

Yeah, I have loved the Cobra Misano ever since I first saw it 6 years ago. But, now I'm actually gonna pull the trigger and get them. Can you post some pics of yours in this thread? I would love to see some real pics instead of the itty-bitty pics on the posted on website store pages.

I will try to get some pics of another car with the Misano's...mine is actually in the paint shop right now....

I sat in Josh's car and hated his seats. They really squeezed my legs together to tight. Josh is skinny so they are fine for him. Moral of the story, sit in your seats first if possible.

Thanks Ron, you always come thru.

Edit: What he said.^ lol

Have you actually sat in both, checked adjustments and rear vision? Some seats fit better for some people than others, and if you're not happy with the fit/convenience then you might be looking to replace them later on. Also, you may be able to get some things like fitment adjusted if you install them for a while and try them out.

I added Corbeaus to mine and have a couple minor things to get used to like seat adjustment, and it is a little snug. The seats I swapped out before weren't as comfortable as I kept reading about. They were nice, just didn't work for me. Seats sometimes make the entire car seem different.

I have Corbeau's now. I just want something different. As previosuly mentioned, I wanted this seat way back when I bought the Corbeau's. I just didn't feel like spending $1500/per seat when I got the pair of Corbeau's for $1500 total.
