koenig KS914 is the seat specifically made to fit the 914 backpad. that's a nice looking seat, but nearly the same price of the vintage seats.
hasn't someone (B r a d?) mentioned that the renegade seats are weak and will break down with use? I think the vintage seats are not a bad deal compared to what the renegades cost. |

The vintageseats.com prices are not really that astronomical for a high-end product IMHO.
A set of early 911 factory recaro sport seats is in the $3000 ballpark, at least when covered in "correct" leather and in perfect condition. Even terribly battered "cores" sell easily for $400-600 each. And top quality aftermarket race seats are $600 on up these days. I guess it's all relative. Seats are both a comfort and SAFETY item so strength and quality construction are very important. |

Sean Yes the Corbeau is the only one that won't fit into the backpad. The rest work perfect.

Beware the Konig seats are very tight in the butt.
I have a 32" waist and ended up selling them because they were uncomfortable. Before buying any seat I would sit in it first. Preferably in a 914. Steve |
