need some new seats - suggestions? Options

[moparrob]

So I just bought this amazing 914 which is set up really nicely, but the seats are too aggressive for a daily driver IMO. The present seats are Sparco Pro 2000 seats and 5 point harnesses, and I think I'm just too wide for them. Too bad because they are in like new condition. I'm 6'0" and 200 pounds, with a size 36 waist and size 42 jacket. I'd like to get something else a bit less aggressive but still sporting, comfortable and attractive.

Are there any fitment issues with 914s due to the size/shape of the cockpit? Am I limited to a certain shape or size seat?

Does anyone have any suggestions for something that might bolt up to my Sparco seat tracks?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Second, We need Pictures of this Amazing 914 to see if it really exists - You got a Hemi in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

Third, Yes there are fitment issues with 914s mainly due to low seat placement whether it be stock or raceseat tracks.

There other race style seats that are made wider that would use your existing Sparco tracks. If you go to another style seat, you will have to go to a different (stock) track system. GTS makes some really nice seats and Stefan will custom do a seat.



I'm sure others will chime in and there are plenty of seat threads. Good Luck with the search function (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Fourth, You could always lose a few pounds to make your existing seat fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Sorry I'm just Fuchin with you. You will learn you need a thick skin around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

no matter what, the car is on the narrow side, and there is not much room for wider seats,especially if u r tall.
I just put in porsche 911/993 seats from LA dismantlers-salvage co.) in mine but had to do some modification to the driver's side transverse support to lower the seat, as the are longer and wider. Much more comfortable(I'm 6'2", 190- 32"waist).

multiple choice
A: P90x works - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
B: GTS very nice
C: other porsche seats-993,996's (electric too!)(see the attached photo)

anyway good luck- I went with the 993 seats I wanted wider and higher support, much safer, and the seats were much less than recovering old ones and Iwanted leather. any questions let me know.
