Standard seats vs sports

Post by CameraJack »

Hi all.

I've got a PD130 Sport with the sport seats installed. They're in pretty good shape:

But the right thigh bolster is starting to have the foam break down so my leg rests on the metal support if I don't sit quite right.

I've been eyeing up leather sport seats for a while (or even better, the alcantra/leather sports!) but they seem pretty rare and thus expensive compared to the standard seats.

I do love the shape of the sport seats, but I do find I get some lower back pain on long journeys. Are the standard leather seats any better for back support? Are they more comfortable for long trips? If they are comfy and support your back well then I might settle for standard seats - you can pick up a nice set including door cars for a hundred quid or less on the bay.

Any input or advice would be appreciated!
