<div>Yes, I installed Miata seats in my TR3A last year and they are great. Yes they are more comfortable, but for me I was even more concerned about the flex in the stock seat. During some spirited driving, including the autocross at Triumphest, when going around a hard corner seat back would flex and roll and virtually pour me out of the seat. I was trying to stabilize myself by holding on to the steering wheel, but it was the stock banjo style and it would flex too. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; display: inline !important; float: none;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; display: inline !important; float: none;">I'm running a 7/8" front sway bar, 205/60R15 Goodrich Tires on </span><span data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: SFNSText, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; display: inline !important; float: none;" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: SFNSText, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); float: none; display: inline !important;">6 1/2" Panasport Wheels, so the car is corning really well, but the stock seat just wasn't working, and same for the passenger seat.
