Evora Seats in the Emira - will they fit?

[FlashingBlade]

I'm still considering the seat situation and wondering if the Evora Sparco seats would fit given the cars are 90% identical part/layout wise. I've said for long time the standard seats dont have enough lateral support for me, which affects confidence in the cars ability when cornering (the back is too wide and there's not enough hip/thigh grip). Tillets are a potential route but they may be a little too hard core for me on a daily basis.

Leather seats or alcantara? I tried both on a test drive and found the leather seats not to give that side to side support when cornering but you stick to the alcantara seats more and these seemed much better. I've was also told by the dealer that the alcantara ones are a bit lower so that helps too.

I suppose it would depend on what was available. I saw these on ebay and it got me wondering about the option:

I would probably get them retrimmed anyway to get rid of the centre embroidary. Not actually planning on buying those specific ones, just wondering if its a potential option for the emira when I come to making the decision on what to do.

You would find them more comfortable than the Evora seats. We spend hours sculpturing the shape to take away any pressure point. The weight is 30 kg lighter overall and the head height much lower.
