Review: Cobra Nogaro seats (uniquely street friendly fixed back bucket seat)

[Pklauser]

Mesa man that car, garage, and now those seats. Very nice!

[Cubieman]

Nice!

Oh man those look awesome. Mine are stuck in customs

Did you weigh them?

No we have family in town so this is far as I got before getting yelled at to quit playing with the shiny new object. 🤣

Will do though.

Looks like my Evo II was the same width at 330 mm, but I didn’t really sit in it much bc it was my passenger seat. I have a feeling I’d slide around a lot if the cushions are leather.

The bottom of my seats have a sticker with serial number, build date, etc. One of the attributes is width, which is circled as "Std" on mine. It might be worth inquiring with Cobra to see if they make the Nogaro in different widths. I suspect this is a common label they use across all seats models (some of which come in different widths), but it's possible they make a more narrow shell.

It could be a witch hunt of an exercise... but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Missing some pics?

Oh super weird. I posted that yesterday from my phone and when viewing this thread from my phone, I see the pic. But when viewed from my desktop web browser, I do not see it.

Here is what I tried to post, albeit with the images cut down in size a bit:

I suspect too big.

How are the nogaros for a short king (5’7), 160 lbs, 31ish waist? 😅 Coming from a Sparco Circuit which hugged my body.

FWIW it would appear I ordered the wrong harnesses (-902/-903). Should have done more research.

The yellow connectors are what come up out of the carpet and connect into the seat wiring harnesses and are a completely different connector from what I just bought, thankfully I didn't spend that much as it would appear these are worthless.

+1 to this. I developed left knee pain in my old Z3 coupe daily that had an SPG XL due to the contortion to get my leg out of the car. For me, the fit of the SPG XL and nogaro seem similar, with the nogaro of course being less supportive. I’m 6’3, 200lb, 34/35 waist and I would rank, for slightly bigger people (added the sportster as it’s a good cross shopper here and I was surprised that it felt more supportive for me),
Supportiveness:
1) SPGXL
2) recaro sportster cs
3) nogaro

ease/comfort of getting in/out:
1) nogaro
2) sportster cs
3) SPG XL

harness compatibility:
1) SPG XL
1) nogaro
0) sportster cs

not getting stabbed in the back by your 3-point:
1) nogaro
1) sportster cs
3) SPG XL

Great info thanks! I'm slightly larger at close to 6'6" 235lb and 36 inch waste. I do fit comfortably into more cars than ppl think I would as I don't have super long legs.

The spg is not a street friendly seat. Doesn’t work well with with a 3 point, pita to get into/out of.

Was afraid of that being the case and Negaros possiblely being too small
