So I saw a set of Konig seats in a 914 and they looked perfect (the car Eric just finished) My wife saw them and recounted me with the trouble she had going around corners fast in our last Six in stock seats. She saw the Konigs and loved them. So I am considering upgrading to a GT style seat with some lateral support. But I would hope to be able to cover them in the stock looking leather to match the rest of the interior. What you all thinking?

I recall back when 914s came out, folks would remove the seat bottom cushion to get a more "bucket" feel. Then he bought a Sheel (looks like the current Koenig seats) and that worked better but wasn't class legal for certain events.

Depending on size of driver and/or passenger try to find one to sit in first. Also note that if one is of slight dimension, the lap part of the seat belt may not rest closely as the bolster blocks the belt.
