    Gatecrasher has srt4 search in his stealth. IIRC he likes them.

    IMO the smaller people are the less they seem to like the stock seats.

    I'm 6'4 and 180lbs. I'm not small, lol. I don't like the SRT-4 seats much because they push my shoulders forward, but if he fits them, that's what I'd suggest. Decent seats for the money.

    Oh, I seen what you mean. I thought you were talking about Leather Seats.com. Yeah, I prefer them because they're easier to clean and for some reason cloth seats always cause me to get statically charged. I'm gonna' get blowed up at the gas station one of the days. I do like alcantara as well though. I wonder, is that different from suede?

    Someone had suggested those. I would consider them. I'd like to find how hard they are to get into a 3S, the seating position, and how they look. Someone on the other site has done it but the pics he posted didn't really give you a good idea.

    I'm also 5'10 and about 160-165, I didn't have a problem with the shoulder area, but maybe they changed the seats over the years? This was several years ago when I was contemplating getting them.
    Only change is that they added the holes for the belts over the shoulders in 2005.

    Hmm, I can get SRT-4 seats for $200 and they look exactly the same. Either way I would have to reupholster them. Plus I don't like the holes for the four point.

    I just looked him up and they look good. Oddly enough, he's selling them. No brackets though.

    No, leatherseats.com makes nice stuff, and they even make suede covers as well.

    Suede and alcantara are very similar. Alcantara is more durable and requires less care than normal suede.
