I can't say about those seats , but I got a set of cobra classics in black from reveloutionary race gear in qld for $970 to my door within 4 days.
I drove 650kms round trip to the mini muster and they were so comfortable compared to the original seats which now feel like a seat that could torture someone with.

Cheers dan

Yeah I have them in my car but without the headrest which gets in the way if you want to access the back seats. Basically with the headrests you can't access the back seats almost at all, unless you're a kid.

Other than that the seats are very comfy and well made. Best addition to my car of late... As Tucker says, the original seats were an instant visit to physio for me, a few visits and the seats are paid for!!

Make sure you buy them with the cobra subframes too.

Check them out here: http://www.minisport.com.au/category66_1.htm

I got mine from Revolution Racegear

If you are going to order them from overseas, make sure you go try some first .
As i tried the classics and didn't like them . I ended up getting the classic RS seats which are a bit different.

When I priced freight from the UK and it pretty much cancelled out any price saving .

The price I quoted was with frames

I have Cobra Clubmans in my car ,love the seats , way more comfortable than the standard lowbacks , but cannot tilt them forward very far to access the back seat ,
that is a PIA , but there is only my wife and i so it's not a problem .

Be careful, Cobras are not that consistent in size. I have one that I find quite comfy. A friend has exactly the same seat but I don't fit between the side rails..

And the "standard" Cobra bases that I bought (mail order from a well known supplier) were cheap pressed tin folded sections...

Now I would not buy a seat that I couldn't try on before handing over my money ...

I got Mini Spares to do a pair of lowback Cobra Classics in red vinyl (special order in this colour). These cost around $950 to bring over including shipping costs, but this also included two custom Cobra seat mounting bases.

I got a pair of Cobra Clubman's from Huddersfield with subframes shipped over for $1000 neat (they adjusted the price for me slightly so I wouldn't have to pay duty etc, very helpful). I had to modify the subframes, but there's a thread on that around here somewhere.

Then when I found that we couldn't access the back seat with them, I got a matching Cobra Classic for the passenger seat.

They look sexy and are both super comfy, however I actually find the classic slightly more comfy because it's just a little bit narrower and I'm a skinny bastard.

Don't be fooled, Gruhms is not my real name.

God damn Cobra Classics are so hot!
I definitely want to put a set in my van when it comes time for that.
.... which is a LONG way off!

i have a pair at home, tore the vinyl off and recovering them. there's not much to the frame it's pretty basic. for what they cost quite unimpressed honestly

I got my Cobras and seat frames from Brickworx, they came out of a Japanese Rover.
