I like my Summit seats.

Im sure some Recargo or some other high end seats would be more comfortable, but mine were cheaper.

Ill second the Summit seats. They are very comfortable, and for the price you cant beat it.

I don't think mustang seats are comfortable at all. Some like them, but my body just doesn't work with them.

Recaro's are really nice, and pricey. The summit seats seem to be a nice seat for their price, I still have not heard anything bad about them, accept for sun fading.

+3 on summit seats, their pretty comfortable, they hug you tight and they are cheaper than corbeau or cobra seats

The only thing I dont like about them is the part on the bottom, on the outside. The part that sticks up to hold you in when you turn. When you get in its kinda hard to avoid sitting on that for a little while. After a while I noticed that the foam in it was kinda torn from a metal piece in it right there. Not bad at all though. And it kind of expanded back to normal and you can even notice it.

But my stock seats did the same thing except the actually tore.

For the passenger side I used the spiders they sent, with the brackets from the stock manual tracks. (Dont do that, its a PITA. The pop rivets holding them together are made out of tungsten I swear. It took us 2 hours to drill them off).

Ad far as the driver side, I just drilled new homes in the tracks, and it fit fine. But the seat sits a few inches higher. But I got used to it.

The v6 crappers in my GTS suck. What a terrible design.
The Sparco Torino 2s I have to replace them are much better!
Plus I am safer with the 4pt belts.
I have slept in them several times.

Terminator seats offer good support and are comfy. They sit just a little higher.

These dont have much cushion on the upper back part, but they come out, so Im sure you could add more if needed/
