Default Different seats

Does anyone make similar seats to the original style but with more modern comfort? Such as lumbar support. I imagine the tall race seats I see installed in some may be better, but I am not sure I like that look of the seat back sitting up that high.

Thanks!!

The Sube Cobra SS seats are reported to be very comfortable.

How about seats from a Hurricane? My brother is using a racing seat in his, so these are unmounted, and still have the plastic around them. I was going to put them in my FFR, but decided against it. They seem to be a little more ergonomic that some of the others.

I DO like the Sube's, but they only come in black and my interior is grey! That's a drag. Thanks for the info guys!! I'll keep my eyes open!

Easy to fix. These are the SubeSport SS seats, redone in gray leather by a local upholstery shop.
