I recently replaced my Cobra seats in order to test Sparco QRT-C. I still find these Cobra's to be the best fitting, most supportive, and most attractive race seat. The version I have is particularly appealing as it's kevlar reinforced and has a fantastic jersey fabric, leather accents, and white stitching. The new version of the Cobra Suzuka Pro is now using a more plain fabric and a few pounds heavier.

Description: Cobra Suzuka Pro - GT (wide version) with Cobra Alloy Side Mounts. Seats Kevlar Reinforced.

Age: These seats are from 2016 with FIA Approval through 2021

Condition: Good Condition. The backs and all visible portions of hard surface are in excellent condition. There are some minor blemishes from where side mount contacted the seat when installed (unavoidable and not visible when installed), plus a few surface scratches on the bottom of the seat (not visible when installed). I wanted to tone down the logos so I dyed them black using a fabric dye pen. I did also try to remove the embroidered logo. I made it as far as the "C" of Cobra on one of the seats before I aborted. It's not noticeable when installed in the car. Side mounts have scratches on the inside of 2 of them (not visible when installed). See pics below showing all of the above. I never want a buyer to be surprised so I always error on the side of full disclosure. Overall these seats are in great condition.

Fit: They have similar dimensions in the seat area as the Recaro PP, Recaro Profi-XL, and the Cobra QRT-R (and C). Unlike the Recaro PP, the shoulder pass-throughs are large and at a proper height for people over 5'7". I'm 5'11", 185 lbs and they fit me wonderfully. The side bolstering is relatively high, which is great on track. The lower seat area is relatively wide while the bolstering is high. They worked nicely on street as the width was generous and comfortable, while the bolstering is high enough to provide great support on track.

Inner Dimensions for comparison (cushion to cushion in lower seat):

Cobra Suzuka Pro GT - 390mm

Sparco QRT-R & C - 380mm
Recaro PP - 380mm
Recaro Profi XL - 376mm
Recaro Profi - 340mm

Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Given our current lock-down status I'm happy to ship

Price: XX$950XX Reduced - Now $895 for the pair including alloy side mounts (Plus shipping and PayPal fees)

Original MSRP:

Seats - $850 x 2 = $1700
Mounts - $140 x 2 = $280
Total - $1980

Sorry for the delay, I'm a noob on the forum. Which model sparco seats? Did a little research. I think most sparcos will fit my 6'4'' frame. not sure how to message you directly. 804.922.2932 if text is easier. James

Sparco QRT-R (and C) are very similar size to the Cobra Suzuka Pro GT. That's what I went to after the Cobra were sold. The QRT-C is crazy light - only 12.5 lbs.
