Leather seats

Post by fowljesse »

They look and smell nice, but I don't like the way they feel. They're cold in the winter, and hot in the summer, and aren't as "deep". Not philisophically, I mean I don't sink into them. They're too firm. And I slide around in them. I'll put my cloth one back in when I race.
No, I'm not going to sell them, because The former outweighs the latter. I just wanted to tell people who are looking for them. I may have saved my $$ for something else, if I knew. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I love them in my car.

Yeah, those SE seats have the texture. I'm sure that helps all of my issues.

YOu're right they are not as deep. I find I have to sit a little closer to the pedals because the reach is a little farther when I clutch cuz the seat is so stiff.

But man they look nice.

I like them. Despite how hot they are when you first get in on a hot day, I find them more comfortable
