Two questions:
- would the seat foam you referenced above be the correct one to purchase for a 96 Cobra with stock seat?
- Yes absolutely, the GT and the Cobra have the same foam in 94-98 models
- since the original foam was glued to the original upholstery, can I still use my original upholstery over new foam since the original upholstery is still in fine shape or is it impossible to cover new foam inserts with the original upholstery?

Yes, Ford did us no favors here by actually injecting the foam into the upholstery. The answer made simple is: No. The original foams and upholstery will be ruined upon removal. We remolded the original foam as a separate piece, like any Fox or New Edge seat (Ford must have realized it was an awful idea and went back to the two part slip over seats in 99-04). Our new seats and foam will only work in conjunction with one another - trust me, this was in no way shape or form a choice we made to simply sell more product - the way the original was manufactured they left us no choice but to repattern our own version - the result is a different installation process, but visually they look the same as stock
Hope that helps, let me know if you have ANY other questions!
We'll have the seats at SEMA if anyone is going..
THanks,
