Elmo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 They claim that they are a custom/direct fit, does anyone have any experience with these, and are they as easy to fit as they claim? http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/brand/cobra-seats/cobra-car-specific-fitting-frames/cobra-seats-toyota-supra-mk4-direct-fit-subframes/prod_1348.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I've used them for a previous car and although they did fit fine they sat quite high so required some "modification" to sit low enough for my taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaky Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm in Telford, Cobra are a mile or so from me, but I've never been. Do they have a factory shop? Cheers. Yes they do, they have a sale at the end of the year too, i got a set years ago for a xr4i turbo, Fit was good and they can retrim your back seats to match, but i don't know what the fit would be like on a supra.

Guest SpeedUp Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have two Cobra misano seats and now need the two direct fit subframes for my 1994'MKIV TT. I'm from Switzerland but have also an address in Germany. Where shall I order to get the best price and service ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Whifbitz would be the best option if you want them sharpish and good service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Does anyone know if the seat bases linked in the first post will fit my oem recaros? Thought i best ask before i phone them to ask dimensions etc they are over half the price of bride rails so got too be worth investigating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeceu Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 no they dont, i have recaros (from a dc2) on these frames but i had to modify and weld some mounts to them to fit, not too dificult to do though if you want to save a few quid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that dude , like you say even with having to modify they will still work out massivly cheaper, i have a mig welder so its only buying a bit of steal to cut and weld on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
