Look at this link, stroll down to about the middle and look at the seat you can buy to put in your S1, with that thing it, you head would be about a foot higher than the windscreen...

Well, I have seen some well nice seats from Westfield which I think will fit into the elise. They are cheap, comfy, look good and lightweight. Westfield have just let me know the dimensions so I need to do some checking ! Probably have to make some brakets to fit them to the runners but thats no problem.

Anyway, whislt searching for elise seat dimensions, I came across that !

"Comfy"? You're getting old mate. Sport 160 seats are fine! Ever sat on a standard S1 seat? £ for £ the best option for S1 seats are the 135 ones from Corbeau I reckon. A retrim to that spec is only a couple of hundred quid. Very supportive, and more comfortable than any other option I've tried... and I tried a lot before buying mine.

Yeah well 3 years of the backrest on the sport 160 seats is taking its toll everyday !!


How about these westfield racing seats? Stroll to the bottom of the page. they cost £210 each in any colour combo including VAT and the size seems like they will fit. Might need to make a bracket to mount them to the runners. Deffo worth a look though at the cost. Even a re-trim using my seats costs more than that !

I like the orange ones

sport 160 seats are excellent... way way way better than standard s1 seats and easily a par for s1 111s seats (which iirc formed the basis of the early s2 seats).

I certainly wouldn't buy anything you haven't sat in Oly. I tried to sit in all the options I could find before I made my mind up. The Lotus Motorsport ones were the best quality of all the ones I saw (narrower choice because I wanted ones with harness holes). Fit, finish and quality were better than other options so that's why I picked them.

The MOG carbon fibre shells are amazingly comfortable, but at a price!

I would want to sit in whatever I buy before I buy it...

Can Carbon seats really be comfortable with no padding??? I just cant imagine they are with pressure points on the body..

In the ideal world I would have the sport 160 seat look as they look cool but made out of bed memory foam. I do have the foam so I might give it a try, Its only the back rest thats a problem the bit you sit on is perfect.
