Does the Cobra line come with any of the comfort features like heated or ventilated seats like the Recaro? And for those that do have those options... is it worth it?

I sat several times in the Cobra, very nice seat and a beautiful carbon fiber shell. No electronics though, and for my needs just a bit too confining.
I don't track my car, but here in area I live there are plenty of open, empty roads, I drive it fairly hard and the lateral support in the Recaro far exceeds the stock, although just sitting in it in the showroom I wouldn't have guessed it. The heat element recycles on/off and for me after a few hours in the saddle it's huge. The ventilation I'm not convinced I feel much, leather isn't perforated as it is in my wifes BMW which has cool air and works pretty well.

No heat, No vent, and not exactly an easy install, but they do recline and will definately hold you in place.

i use to have the cobra misano "L"/leather which cool996 now owns. they are about 20lbs lighter each seat including brackets. there are no other comfort or lumbar options to this seat but there is aluminum billet brackets and **** options which are needed in my opinion since it comes with cheap plastic brackets and ***** located on the side of the seats. brit if you are planning to purchase this seat it takes 8-10 weeks and if you can get a friend to get another seat and have a resale license you can get 25% off all the parts and seats.

I have the sport topline with comfort features. With Schroth 6 point and plenty of tracking, I think it has gone beyond my expectations. I like the electric rake and height with manual forward backward. I like the ability to crack the back forward to get access to the rear seat. I like the heat and the fan and I like the pump lumbar support. I also got deviating stitch to match the rest of my interior. When I got mine, I wasn't sure I would like it so I only put in the driver's seat. It is so close to the standard leather, it is hard to realize it is two diff't seats. I always said I would get the passenger side later, but screw it, I never sit there.

Okay... I am leaning toward the Recaro Style with comfort package for both driver and passenger in leather/Arista Fabric in Black. Who has the best price for the seats with necessary brackets?
