Besides the suede inserts and the SRT lettering, what are the differences in the seats? I would like to have a set of full leather seats instead of ones
with the suede inserts, but want to make sure that they are basically the same. Do they both have the same power and heating functions? and if so, do they both use the same plug? I found a couple of sets on EBAY that are black leather out of an '07, but the pics are not very good. Thanks for any help.

 

The suede and lettering are the only difference; everything else should be a direct match. There was a thread some time ago where the SRT6 suede seats had been swapped with the Limited leather seats.

 

This is true. However it's not really suede.

 

That is correct. It's Alcantara. A very tough woven fabric they put in MB's.

 

True, which I love because real suede is such a pain in the ****. It is actually Ultrasuede branded as "Alcantera", which BMW and Audi uses liberally as well. I think its a blend of fustian and cotton. Same thing my new couch and loveseat are made out of

 

I have both and the seats support, warm, and recline/move identically. The difference is the covering. No idea about plugs but cannot imagine they would be different. You may want to check around a couple upholstery or auto shops for someone who could recover them in real leather. I'm not convinced the limited seats are 100% leather all around.

I was dumbfounded to discover my A6 leather seats were only real leather where your butt/back go; the bolsters on the sides were fake leather.

 

ill trade ya seats mine are the two tone leather (grey and black)

 

thanks for the replies....the ebay ad said that the 07's had lumbar control for the seat. Is this true?

 

have not seen any lumbar controls on any crossfires seats

 

That's actually pretty common practice.

 

The Alcantara seating can also be found on performance versions of the Porsche and an option on Ferrari. Holds you in the seat better than smooth leather when doing some spirited driving or on a road course and is much cooler to rest your body after it has been sitting in the sun. Very important in the South West.

 

I'm with Hyper. I'll trade you seats as well. I have an 04 with the grey on grey seats. I'll pay for shipping if its not too crazy. PM if you like

 

I can't imagine having the smooth leather seats in the SRT!! You would slide all over the place. As it is, I still get thrown around while driving spiritedly - enough so that my foot comes off the throttle sometimes, which puts the nose in a dive, and slams back on the throttle. It can be a real rollercoaster. I can't imaging having slippery leather instead of the alacantra.

 

Any idea of what the stock SRT seats are worth? thinking of just running racing seats like i did in my SRT10...

 

I haev perfect all black limited seats, look brand new....would trade and pay shipping.

 

i have like new black on black limited's...Id even pay shipping

 

The leather on the Limited Crossfire seats is of subpar quality in my opinion. The leather to me has always seemed a little plastic like to the touch, and more brittle than I would expect out of quality leather. My bolsters already show substantial creases and wrinkles and I condition the leather every month or so. I would much prefer Alcantera.

 

i appreciate the offer, but dennis (old man) has first dibs if i decide to get rid of them-

 

This was me! I still am upset...... I just don't feel like shelling out $800-$1000 on SRT seats.

 

Didn’t mean to strike a nerve, just-informing MUTT a seat swap had been done before. I wouldn’t spend that much on seats either .
