I'm probably not doing this right, can't find much on alternative seats for my 914 on this site. Anyway lets start afresh, I find it strange for a car that can really corner well that the standard seats do not hold you anywhere near firmly enough. I would like to upgrade to something not TOO expensive and that will fit into the car with not too much hassle, any recommendations? Yes I know its a bit of a crime but I don't feel that I can really drive the car to its full advantage as it stands or sits!

My GTS Classics LeMans seat is the perfect upgrade for my original, only better!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) It looks like they are only selling kits now rather than built seats. At ~$1500 plus shipping (AAs price), plus the cost of what it will take for an upholstery shop to put it together for you for those that don't have the tools/time/interest, makes them a pretty spendy option. |
