Big guys and cobra seats

[gwalker]

These 2 dont seem to go together. Any other big guys have any tips to avoid destroying the seat bolsters?

Get a set of extra wide corbeau cr1 seats

What's funny is I'm not a big guy, but my hips sit slightly on the bolsters and is kind of uncomfortable after awhile. I'm only 6'1" and 195. :dw:

Not trying to thread jack... but do the stock seats sell for more than a set of racing seats?

Im 6'1" and 280lbs. My chest size is 54. My ribs dont fit between the side bolsters and my hips and thighs dont fit between the hip bolsters. I dont sit "in" the seat I sit "on" it. Not good for long drives let me tell ya. Just dont have the money for new seats right now

I just sold my OEM seats and got some wide Corbeau CR1's from 5.0 Resto and broke even.

I love the CR1's.

Same problem here.

I put in a pair of Mach 1 seats that were almost new. Bought them from a local crashed Mach 1

Always liked the way the old school tuck and roll seats looked and they are much wider" than Cobra seats. Still retained all the electric controls.

exactly my prob and I am about your size. getting in and out is hell on the outer bolsters

when you sit down you sit sideways to go around the side of the seat.... everytime I see someone sit and slide right on down that bolster it makes me sad....

This is what I do. Helps somewhat for me

I get in and out of mine as if it had a roll cage. Keeps from tearing up the bolsters.

I read your post and couldn't help but go back to the '74 Chevelle Laguna I used to have. The seats swiveled out 90 degrees to the left allowing you to sit in the seat and then swivel it back to the driving position. I never used them like that, and the innovation wasn't wide accepted by the industry. I guess today a feature like this would include electronic power sliding. LOL!
