Anyone in Atlanta with Cobra Nogaros?

Cries in 5’7

No joke, I’d rather be shorter. So many cars are annoying/impossible.

😆😆 Yeaah (6'5" here) ... At last track day I sat in this guy's Lotus Elise (ironically he was also a tall fellow); with the steering wheel spaced out it might actually work, but in stock form it feels like a go-kart w/ steering wheel sawing at my legs. That and I always bump my head on s**t

FWIW, I went for the Nogaro after a ride along in Obioban's car. Harness holes are high enough for me (barely) and otherwise I have no complaints whatsoever, such an enhancement to driving experience. Haven't done the passenger seat yet-- need to get wife to validate comfort

Sportsters look much better than they feel (especially being period correct for an E46). I was ready to pull the trigger on them to upgrade my Z4M seats and just so happened to drive a friends' car after he installed some. An hour drive changed my tune and they were a no-go for me. Lateral move at best and a big effort for negligible increase in support & weight savings. And once I realized the backrest reminds me of those flexy plastic white chairs it was all over. They are somewhat of an improvement from stock seats although a halfway point IMO. At least with Z4M seats you get a true PnP setup for about half the cost.

Nogaros or PP's are now at the top of my list. But absolutely will not commit until I drive a car with them for 30+ minutes as heinzbohmer suggested. Sitting static will not tell the whole story.

I initially wanted Nogaros but reviews consistently describe them as uncomfortable after short to medium length drives - particularly low back/lumbar. This was a deal breaker, I ended up buying Pole Positions which have been great.

Another thing to consider (for both PP and Nogaros) is the shoulder bolstering. Quite tight if you have broad shoulders.

Bump. Anyone have Nogaros in Atlanta? Thinking about an upgrade.

I sold mine due to being extremely uncomfortable. They looked great though!

Tried quite a few seats at Discovery Parts and settled on the Sparco Evo Performance. In the car for just over a year and no regrets.

I’ve at in Nogaros, CS, & PP’s. I’m 5’10” with broad shoulders and I found the Nogaros to be too tight on my shoulders. PP’s are more spacious for the shoulder but tighter on the hips. I have an athletic build and found the CS’. to be the most comfortable for my proportions. Though I have never tested CS’s in fast corners but it felt like a step up from stock but not sunk too deep like the PP’s. I do like the idea of maintaining the rear seat accessibility which is why I’d likely upgrade to CS’s one day. Maybe Recaro will develop a new lighter version similar to the RSS.
