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.

In the old days when I autocrossed the silver car, I'd take out the lower cushion and sit on a folded up towel and get a lot of extra side support. The idea above of thinning the bottom cushion would work, but probably not be real comfortable for a long trip. But realistically, how many of us go on long trips anymore in the 914? (Back in the day, I'd think nothing of driving from Iowa to Daytona for the 24 hour race though...)

When redoing the seats in my '73, I went with gray Alcantara to avoid having black seat cushions if the sits out in the sun at all...
