The Land Rover 90 is not a seat-led car. The factory fit is canvas or vinyl over a steel frame, designed for work rather than for holding you in place mid-corner. It is exactly right for the original job. What it lacks is the lateral support that most 90 owners start to notice once the vehicle becomes a daily or a weekend car rather than a field tool.
The seats in this guide close that gap without turning the 90 into something it is not. All five recline, which keeps everyday usability intact. None of them require cutting the floor: Cobra make a direct-fit subframe for the 90, all years, and the runner is part of the kit. The parts list is short: seat, frame.
Land Rover designed the 90 with a relatively compact distance between the bulkhead and the seat box, and it is fixed. That is why seat depth matters here in a way it does not on most cars. The Cobra Stuttgart specification for this vehicle is only 530mm from front to back, because Cobra built it around exactly that constraint. The subframe itself bolts to the factory mounting points on all years of the 90 and carries the sliding runner with it.
Unlike the Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau frames that sell the runner separately, the Cobra kit arrives with the runner included. You order seat and frame, and the job is done.
Part SU-LR-90, £255 inc VAT a side. Runner included. Sold per seat: a pair means two in the basket. Bolts to the factory floor points on all years of the Land Rover 90.
Every seat in this guide uses a 291mm bolt pattern, which is what the Cobra subframe is built around. The Corbeau seats are also drilled for a second pattern (345mm), though that set of holes is not in play on this route. All five seats go straight onto the one frame: no adapters, no decisions between routes.
| Seat | Bolt pattern | Cobra subframe |
|---|---|---|
| Corbeau PSR | 291 or 345 | Fits |
| Cobra Daytona | 291 x 330 | Fits |
| Corbeau Sportline Boss Evo 2 LR | 291 or 345 | Fits |
| Cobra Stuttgart Vinyl LR Package | 291 x 330 | Fits |
| Cobra Misano Anniversary | 291 x 330 | Fits |
The PSR is the simplest way to re-seat a 90 properly. It is a cloth recliner with Corbeau’s straightforward build: good support, a clean shape, no fuss. The pair listing makes the initial cost easy to work out. At £558 for both seats, add the two Cobra subframes at £255 each, and the full re-seat of the car comes to £1,068 inc VAT. That covers both driver and passenger with a seat that holds you laterally and is easy to clean after a day in the field.
Corbeau list the PSR as 4 point compatible, which means the backrest has harness slots if you ever run a lap belt harness on track. The black stitching on the cloth trim suits most 90 interiors without looking out of place.
The Daytona sits at the bottom of the Cobra sport seat range and is where a lot of people start when they want a Cobra rather than a Corbeau. It has more shoulder support than the PSR, a slimmer profile that works well in the 90 cabin, and it uses the 291mm pattern the Cobra subframe is built around, so the fitting side is as simple as it gets. The Daytona comes in at £599 inc VAT a seat, which with one subframe at £255 gives you a single side for £854 all in.
At 13.5kg it is one of the heavier recliners in this guide, which is not unusual for a steel-framed seat. The weight matters less in a 90 than in a lightweight track car, and the build quality suits a vehicle that gets used hard.
The Boss Evo 2 in Land Rover specification is the seat Corbeau have specifically set up for the Defender and the 90. It is a vinyl recliner with more body support than the PSR and comes in seven stitching colours, so if the interior has been retrimmed or the vehicle runs a specific colour scheme, you can match it. Both bolt patterns are drilled into the base, so it fits the Cobra subframe via the 291mm holes the same as the PSR does.
At £654 inc VAT it sits between the Daytona and the Stuttgart in price, and it is the one Cameron tends to recommend when someone wants Corbeau’s build without the PSR’s simpler spec. If you are fitting a pair and the interior has a particular look, the stitching options make the difference.
The Stuttgart is the seat Cobra designed with the Land Rover fitment constraint in mind. At 530mm from front to back, the base is shallower than almost anything else Cobra make, because the gap between the 90 bulkhead and the seat box is fixed and unforgiving. A deeper base either cannot be pushed far enough back or catches the door card when the vehicle flexes off-road. The Stuttgart’s 530mm depth was the answer.
Fifteen vinyl trim combinations are available on this listing, from plain black through Tartan and Houndstooth. The spec reads as a seat only: tell Cobra the vehicle when you order and they will confirm in writing exactly what arrives. At £859 inc VAT it is the most purposeful choice for a 90 that sees a lot of road use and the occasional rough ground.
The Misano Anniversary is the top of this guide and the seat for anyone who wants the 90 to feel properly finished inside. At 11.5kg it is notably lighter than the Daytona and the Stuttgart, which is unusual for a seat at this price and spec level, and the build is considerably more detailed: shaped bolsters, upholstered finish, and a level of interior quality that matches a restomod rather than a working vehicle. It is a 291mm base mount, goes onto the Cobra subframe the same way as every other Cobra in this guide.
The entry price is £1,649 inc VAT. If the 90 is a show vehicle or a restomod project where the interior is being built to a standard, this is the seat that matches the brief. For a working vehicle or a daily driver, the Stuttgart covers most of the same territory for considerably less.
The Cobra subframe for the Land Rover 90 includes the sliding runner in the kit price, which keeps the parts list short. Every other frame brand in this series sells the runner separately; on this vehicle, that step is already handled. Both driver and passenger sides use the same subframe (part SU-LR-90), sold individually. Torque the floor bolts to spec after fitting, and check the seat belt buckle position before driving, as a sport seat typically sits the buckle somewhere new relative to the standard seat.
If you are fitting a pair and ordering both subframes at once, add two to the basket. If you want heated seats in the Misano or a specific Stuttgart trim, confirm the full spec in writing with Cobra before ordering: the Land Rover-specified parts are made to order, not pulled from shelf stock.

Prices include VAT and were correct on 11 September 2026. Where a weight says not published, the manufacturer does not give one and we will not guess it. The frame adds £255 inc VAT per side on top of the seat price, runner included.
No. The Cobra subframe bolts to the factory seat mounting points on all years of the 90. There is no drilling on a standard floor. Torque the floor bolts to spec and check the seat belt buckle position before driving, as a sport seat typically moves the buckle from where the standard seat left it.
The subframe in this guide (part SU-LR-90) is specific to the 90, short wheelbase. The 110 uses different floor dimensions and needs its own fitting hardware. If you are fitting a 110, ask us separately and we will confirm what is in stock for that vehicle.
All five seats in this guide are listed by their manufacturers as 4 point harness compatible, with slots in the backrest. If you are planning a harness alongside the seat, tell us when you order and we will make sure the full setup is compatible.
The subframe is sold per seat position, one frame per seat. A pair of seats means two frames in the basket. The runner is included in each frame, so there is nothing extra to add for that. If the listing shows only one part number, it is for one seat position: add quantity two for both sides.
Yes. A customer brought their Defender to us fitted with Corbeau RRS Low Base seats, and the result is documented in a post on the blog: Corbeau RRS Low Base Seats Fitted Into Our Customer's Land Rover Defender. Worth reading before you decide on the seat if the RRS interests you.
For a 90 that does daily mileage and the occasional longer road trip: the Corbeau PSR pair. At £279 a seat and with the runner included in the frame, it is the most straightforward way to properly re-seat both sides for just over £1,000 all in. It cleans easily, holds you laterally, and does not try to be anything it is not.
If the vehicle has been built to a particular standard and the interior is getting proper attention: the Cobra Stuttgart Vinyl in the Land Rover specification. The 530mm seat depth is the specific reason Cobra offered this variant, and it makes a difference in a cabin where depth is constrained. Pick the trim to match what the rest of the interior is doing.
For a restomod or a 90 that is being built to show standard, the Cobra Misano Anniversary. The weight comes down, the build quality goes up, and it suits a vehicle where the interior is as considered as the rest of the build.
If you are between two of these and want to talk it through, get in touch. The showroom number is 0115 9893488, or ask via the site and Cameron will come back to you with a recommendation based on your specific build and how you use the vehicle.
