I would like to provide my opinion on the two different seats sold by PRP. In our current situation we have a pair of the PRP SS seats in one Slingshot and the basic PRP Suspension seats in the other.
First I would like to say the quality and comfort of both the seats are outstanding. The fact you can go online, build and design/customize the seats to your own taste for the price is incredible.
Both seats were fairly easy to install. The only problem I had was installing the seat base to the frame on the Suspension Seat because the fasteners are a bit on the short side. I had to use a clamp to compress the seat base against the frame in order to get the bolts started.

Wider seating position compared to the SS Suspension Seat
Back area is wider and provides some lumbar support.
Raises the seating height compared to the stock seats about 1 inch.
Provides great stability for your body in the turns.
SS Suspension Seat (Photo on the Right)
Removable base cushion. (can be removed when parked to keep it dry or cool)
Back area has a cut down shape that allows a little more movement of the upper torso.
Lowers the seating height compared to the stock seats about 2 inches.
Provides good stability for your body in the turns.
The initial height of the base of each seat is about the same. The base of the Suspension Seat is firm and sinks just enough to make you comfortable. The base of the SS Suspension Seat is not firm, the padding will go flat within about 10 minutes. We added some memory foam to them to reduce how much they collapse. Even with the padding squashed down they were not uncomfortable. I weight just north of 210 pounds and they go to flat for my liking. My wife, who is smaller, finds them comfortable with the extra foam added.
Both seats are worth the money to us. We would purchase them again.
The SS Suspension Seat is heated, it gets very hot on high.
