I drive a lot for work and as anyone who has a 2000 Disco (probably all Discos) knows, the front seats are not the most comfortable for hours of highway driving.
I'm wondering if anyone has replaced their front seat(s) with something more comfortable.
How difficult was it?
How expensive was it?
How is the new seat working out?
What about the off-road performance?

Thanks!

 

what is more comfortable? a couch? i think the seats are wonderful. i drove from NYC to Charlotte in one day and felt great.

 

Agreed. I think the seats in my Disco are far more comfortable than the seats in my wife's Accord EX of the same year. It took a while to get the height, tilt, backrest tilt, and lumbar pressure to my liking, but now it's like driving while in the most comfortable recliner.

 

I have a 2000 Disco II - the seats are most comfortable of any vehicle I've sat in. The next runner up would be my old 88 Full Size Bronco.

 

I have a 97 disco and the drivers seat is blown out... any ideas on a replacement???

 

My 2003 has very comfortable seats as did my 2001 not sure they can get more comfortable.

 

Has anyone ever tried to LOWER them. I don't mean adjust them lower, I mean lower where they mount. I'm 6'4" and if they were just an inch or so lower I could see out the windshield better.

 

we all have problems with the height. if i pull up to a light i cant see it change colors i need to duck down to see it. or i look thru the sunroof

 

Kickintalus, I'm with you on that mate, the seats bite in to your legs after a short time. I have a 98 model disco, my 89 R/Rover base model has great seats in it, I'm thinking about swaping them but have'nt checked it out yet. The rangie did have 1" alloy blocks under the front seats when I get it, Have'nt look at the Disco yet.

I fixed my blown out drivers seat with nylon webbing. You can get it at any camping (REI) store. I used 1.5" wide webbing. Fastened with self-tapping sheet metal screws. The mesh under the seat torn along the seam where it fastened to the frame. You have to take the seat out, take the cover off of the bottom cushion and then its very easy. It ends up looking like an old school lawn chair the way it is woven.
Good Luck,
