Default Need opinion on OMP seats.

anyone ever tried the OMP 642 Comfort Seat?

It is a reclining seat that only weighs in a 22lbs. I'm interested to hear what people's experiences are with either OMP or this seat specifically.

Cheers,
Boris

A friend of mine has OMP kevlar fixed-angle seat in his MR2. I've driven the car. Not a great daily driver seat, although he's been driving it for 4 years now. Hard to get in/out. But really holds you in place. OMP is a quality company.
I use Sparco Roadster in my race car. Ok for daily driving, decent for autocrossing. Easy to get in and out. Doesn't recline, though.

Default Boris I am also interested in a possible OMP seat

The OMP Comfort Lusso. I attached some pics. A reclining seat that I am evaluating along with the Cobra Daytona sport and Momo Street Racer GT. Any opinions on seat quality/durability/fit would be appreciated.

I don't know anything about this seat except from the OMP web page. But I would suggest that you look at the size of the adjuster carefully, because that's a problem on the inside and outside of the Recaro SRD seat. When the SRD seat is all the way back, it is either nonfunctional or has to be removed to get the seat all the way back, on a 993 because the tunnel curves inward. The adjuster on the OMP Comfort seems to be larger yet.
