Seat Options, What do you all like? Options

[73Euro911S]

Ok, I'm just exploring some options here. I'm thinking about replacing the factory seats in my 73 for something a bit more comfortable and with more lateral support. My car will be 50/50 street/track. The street driving won't be commute type driving, it will be weekend fun driving and the track time will be local AX and DE type events, so not too hard core. I will save the seats and back-pad, don't worry.

I'd like a period correct look as well. Do Recaro LX seats from the 80's fit? Anybody here use those? What else? Please give me some ideas.

Thanks in advance.

Paul, that is a bummer to hear about the fading. I was definitely thinking the corduroy would be the way to go as I don't want a vinyl type surface. I know Stefan can do custom inserts, perhaps a black tweed would be nice.

I got the leather option and so far I am quite happy. I think i bought it about 3 years ago.

Seat update: I sourced an old Recaro brochure that had seat dimension for their LK, LX and SR seats. All 3 seats are 34" overall height, the base width is 21" (LX) and 22" (LK, SR) and depth of 18.5" (LX), 19.5 (LK) 20.9" (SR).

It seems like the LX and LS will work if whatever mounting bases don't raise the seat height too much but the back pad will need to removed regardless. The center cushion is also in the way so that goes too. E brake function could also be compromised, darn I like the old school look of these, but I see several issues that make this option too complicated and expensive.

I think I'll be calling Stephan next week.
