Default Adjustable After Market Seats (very adjustable ones)

Are there any aftermarket seats (preferably light weight like brides etc) that's backs are adjustable.. not just reclining..but also the back section... like in the middle to adjust to your upper back / neck?

thanks

I believe the Sparco Milano and Torino's are adjustable.

I have 8 way adjustable lumbar support on my 87. Man is it nice. Maybe you should look for a set of those.

light and adjustable mechanics could not go hand in hand... that stuff is heavy.

you want a comfortable racing seat, I think thats an oxymoron or something.

typicly just having the recline function puts the seats into a whole new weight category over those that dont recline. upper lumbar support isnt available in most luxury cars, let alone sports cars.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

rite... but there is always the lightest and most adjustable of the bunch... that is what im looking for...

if it was a toss up between 2 seats one that is 30 pounds and fully adjustable and one that is 50and fully adjustable id take the 30...

Bride, Sparco, Recaro, Corbeau all make adjustable seats with folding back. Recaro will probably be your best bet because they are use in production cars.

Yep. Exactly. the 87 adjust at upper, mid & lower back and the knees. I think the 03 seats are pretty comfortable but it'd be nice to have all those adjustments. I think the 03's are designed for the average height driver. I'm exactly 6' tall & they fit me really well. Even the headrest is well positioned. Make sure you give us a review of what you end up with.

I think by 87 he means the seats in his 87 300ZX... think your best bet would be a junk yard...

LOL Yea, I think you'd like the functions but you'd probably want something a little newer & easier to integrate in to the 03 model. I was just referencing them because they are very nice seats. Although, you could find some & have them "modernized" for the 350Z (new leather, etc) I'm not sure how practical that would be. Sorry for the confusion.
