    I'd like to update the comfort seats in my 550. I've seen some 360 Daytona seats for sale on eBay. Anyone ever make this conversion, or is it even possible? (I have been looking at Corbeau seats, too. They have a nifty seat adapter.)

    Adaptation would require matching mounting holes, make sure seat belt mounting points are accommodated, and being able to make the electrical connection.

    I've had a 456M - same platform as the 550/575M - and now have a 360, and I think the 360 seats would be too low in a 550. My 360 seats are also less comfortable than the 456 seats. I think also the track is narrower.

    If I were you, I'd try to find a set of the racing seats for the 550. They will seat you lower and the track will fit. They also look very cool, and some guys have reported they like them better in terms of comfort and support.

    I'm 6'5" and would like a lower seat with a thinner back. I thought about the race seats for the 550, but they are unobtanium.

    Jim, I think Moorfan put Recaro's or Sparco's in his 550. Check out his thread from a couple of years ago, or drop him a PM.

    I have some very nice OEM manual (slightly lower than electric) 360 seats. Black with red piping and embossed Cavallino on headrests. Let me know if you're interested.
