Hi all,

I was just thinking today that I'd like to eventually swap out my seats. I have an '04 alabaster coupe. They're pretty comfortable, but something with a little more bolstering would be nice.

My question is A) would any Mercedes Benz seat fit in the Crossfire, or only SLK seats, and if so, which seats would be nice to swap in (CLK Black Series maybe?), and B) for anyone who has swapped seats, what would you suggest as a good seat that has a good mix of bolstering for cornering and enough cushioning for everyday use?

Looking forward to the discussion!

 

Other than the obvious butt head response "Crossfire seats" If a Viper seat fit your rear would be in heaven.

 

I want some new ones too, the SRT6 seats are bigger then the others.

Anyone know a good alternative??

 

I've always liked the seats Sonoronos put in his car !

 

Seen these in person...They look awesome and comfortable!

 

SInce I have had my XF I have wondered - can a SRT or even a limited leather heated seat be put into a base coupe?

Is there anyone who has done this or even attempted?

If so, I would like to also know how difficult it would be to wire up and then to install the seat heater buttons on the dash?

You can pick up a set of leather seats on ebay for $400, I think if they were a direct fit and wiring was not too ugly, this would be a great solution???

Just a thought. What do you think???

 

Those seats look wider between the bolsters, are they? I have the factory leather seats and the distance between the bolsters are to narrow.
Also, do these seats sit the same height or lower than the factory leather? I can't give up ANY head room.

thanks

 

Same height as the factory, but to be honest if you are gifted with altitude like rudy then these are the wrong way to go

 

i agree would like to find a set like his

 

I need to gain some room, what company made yours??

 

Recaro is a good start.

I kind of regret getting a base model, only because I would have changed out the seats for recaros. well not really.. but it would have been so much cheaper.

 

Any seats will it i"m sure. Your just going to have to fab up a mounting bracket. Not to difficult

 

True story. I will shortly be tearing my seats out and seeing if the bolsters can be widened. The bolsters are actually metal tubes that have less padding around them and are higher up in the seat. I love the feel of leather but there is just no room in those seats compared to the base model seats.

 

If I understand what you're trying to do, I will be extremely interested in what you find. For me, the bolsters (especially in the bottom cushion, are just to high/wide. I need more flat area to sit (or a smaller butt).

I took the car to an upholsterer and he wouldn't touch it. I really like the look of the leather seats, but if the base model is that much better, I might just have to change.

I would also like the backrest to be a little wider, but that is a seat change for sure, and I have no idea what would work in there.

 

hello there,

would SLK seats fit in the crossfire? Which SLK? the current model or the older ones? i will definitely be keen in changing it to the SLK seats!

cheers

I know you can fit at least one in the trunk.

 

LOL Joy and Darnell's El Camino from my My Name Is Earl comes to mind.

4-passenger seating in a crossfire, what will they think of next!

 

LOL,

That'd be sweet strap two seats to the roof, we can finally have a true passenger vehicle, lol.

 

I noticed that TVT just started carrying some Sparco Sprint 5 seats, is this a direct bolt on, or does it require modification?

Thanks.
