better seats

ok, i've searched for a while and havent found anything on this subject. Im sorry if there is another thread for this. Anyways, does anybody know where to find luxury bucket seats? like...with heating options..power seats...so on and so forth. You know while still being comfortable and holding you in place etc.

Thanks.

I'm not aware of any aftermarket seats that come with power tracks. Except for maybe some high end recaros, I'm not aware of any that are heated either, although now you can buy the heating elements and add them to almost any seat.

I would say the closest you'll get is to find some 4th gen power seats, and have the heating pads installed by a local upholstery shop.

I put 07 Mustang seats in mine. They are black leather with power everything and heated. Heated seats in a convertible in October are the whip.

Recaro "top-line" seats have heat and ventilation, power recline, and the ortho seats have every adjustment known to man! Still manual sliders though.
