    Anyone installed a seat from Superior??

    http://www.superior-seats.com/Class8.htm

    They're out of Elkhart IN, and by the looks of it a small manufacturer making seats for truck/rv/car markets. The seats look like they'd be very comfortable, but expensive with all the bells and whistles, though in-line with Knoedler and ISRI premium seats. My Bostrom is shot, suffering lower back pain and need a good seat with plently of support.

    I've already been in touch with them and invited to drop by the factory, however I'd like to hear of any experiences from the worthy members of this forum.

    Thanks!!

    Wish I can be of help.... I too am looking for seats that are not a fortune. I'm going to follow this thread to see what you come up with.

    Hey, I also live in SW Ontario ... I am also looking for input ... They look very comfortable and I wouldn't have a problem spending a little extra for something very nice. I called around to a few of their Canadian dealers - one in particular near Hamilton I think it was they had listed, and they said they don't carry the truck line of seats ... I would like to know where I can just drive through and test/buy one. I have been eyeing these seats for some time now.

    Had an email from their sales dept, said to drop by their plant in Elkhart IN. The Luxor starts around $550 then you add the covering material and everything else. They are just off the I80 toll road so fairly easy to get a truck into. I'm going to drop by after the holidays.
    Liked the look of the Knoedler Electric Chief, but dealer in London doesn't carry the seat, just orders them. If I'm paying over $1k for a seat I sure want my ##### in it before I buy:biggrin_25519:

    Might want to be careful of that. They are on a dead end street and I do not remember if an 18 can turn around at their lot.

    I bought a seat from them last May for my Dodge. Wish I had bought it a long time ago.
