Best seats for an NA

[Osmoliver]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a bit of guidance on what to do about the seats in my Mk1 Mx-5. I'm a little over 6 feet tall and am struggling to deal with the standard seats. My head brushes the roof when the top is down and my neck is in line with the top of the seat.

I've done a bit of searching and older forum posts appear to suggest Lotus Elise seats are a good fit for the Mx-5. However, the cheapest set I can find are £300 on ebay and they're rather tatty, other are £700 plus. At the £300 price point, I could buy brand new Cobra Monaco sport bucket seats. This would also give me the option to fit a harness at some point in the future too.

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have had height or comfort issues in their Mx-5, so I'm hoping there's plenty of advice out there.

Thanks for the replies.

I think I'm going to attempt a foamectomy at the weekend and see if that gives a better driving position. I'm always happy to try free solutions first!
