now : cobra roadster but the support in the upper leg area is not optimal

does anybody have experience with intratrim, richfield or MK seats?

depends how tall you mean?!

i'm 6ft 2" and have no problem with the MK seats.

Koen,

I'm 6ft 5, and I only fit in the Indy with GRP shell seats; that's why I choose the Caterham/MK/Triton model. Even without padding they are very comfortable (for me). The Cobra roadster seats are to thick; they take up to much space behind my back. And they are pretty low; the "head-supports" are at my shoulder height, whereas the Caterham/MK/Triton seats will support my head (should I ever need it).

If I would buy other seats, I would buy Triton's rolled lower edge version, because it is less restricitve in the "bum-area". I don't need it, but can imagine people I'd like to take for a ride not fitting my current seats.

But I'm curious; why are you asking?

i'm 6'2" and mr tritons are perfect really comfortable aswell with no padding, wouldn.t bother with intatrims even right back there's nowhere near enough room.

I'm a fairly petite 6'2" but rather long in the body and had a problem finding a seat low enough to give me headroom (I've got a hard-top)
Lotus Elise seats came to my rescue - complete with inflatable lumbar support for my dodgy back
