    How to Nogaros compare to PPs in comfort and weight? Do they offer a carbon version?

    Went from Recaro PPs to Sparco QRT-Performance and now have carbon Recaro PP ABEs on order through euroconnex.

        GRP Nogaros are 10.2 kg, CF Nogaros are 5.3 kg.

        Comfort is probably more of a function to how they match to your body, but I certainly find the quite comfortable (and enjoy having adjustable lumbar and heat in them).

          I also ended up purchasing the PP ABEs through them.

            I used to love the PP, had the Profi and loved those, currently have the QRT and they are also great but mid this year I got a pinched nerve in my back which is persistent and hasn’t gone away with massages, chiropractor nor therapy. It seems like the PPs and QRTs are tighter at the top which causes the pain. I will be trying the ABEs but I am open to other options so I can enjoy longer drives.

            What I am looking for is; comfort, leather, weight.(in that order)

              What do you think of them and have you had experiences with any other seats to compare to?

                How does the adjustable lumbar work in the nogaros? Just a little pump that will inflate the sides?

                Also, is that something that comes on all nogaros or do you have to order it as an extra?

                  I just recently purchased them so I haven't received them yet. I've had regular PP and Sportsters in the past but not ABEs.

                    They are not standard, but they are "stock"-- you tell Cobra you want them when you order and they add it to the back cushion.

                    Its in the center of your back, not on the sides-- like the lumbar adjust on the stock M3 seats.

                    It's a hand pump squeezy thing, that also has a release button when you don't want it. I tuck it under the leather on my seat when not in use, and it becomes completely invisible.

                      I have the PP ABE and for my body type (5'9" and medium build), it fits me well. I think if you are tall (>6ft), then it might not be ideal, especially with 4pt harnesses. I do like that the buckle fits right inside so it wraps around my waist fully compared to going over the seat like with the Sparco EVOs I had before. I bought it via euroconnex/tainik and it arrived amazingly fast.

                          Thanks for the feedback. I am 5' 8" so it should work well for me, I don't run harnesses.

                            Looks like you can just throw it in yourself after you get the seats.

                              They add a hole to the bottom of the seat if you get the lumbar, that I wouldn’t want to add myself (for the airline).

                                I see, good to know.

                                Stupid q - do circuit seats come with a substrap cutout or is that a custom order ask? I don't think I've seen bottoms of the seats.
