with the headrests adjusted all the way down do they still stick up higher than a stock seat?

These seats look great! Two questions:
Do you sit any lower than in the stock seat? (This would be a plus for me) If not, can it be done? Could one substitue houndstooth cloth for the corduroy? THANKS! pete |

when the top of the seat is pressed all the way against the backpad, it looks like the bottom is pushed away. How far is the bottom of the seat away from the firewall.

Might be reclined or something, that'd do it. |

Since this vendor is in Las Vegas, I was planning to go and look at these seats as a public service to the 914Club members. I was sure that I would not be a potential customer. I thought that my recently recovered stock seats were OK and that the price for these was more than I would be willing to pay. I WAS WRONG.
I had a nice Sparco seat in my race car. I had a Scheel seat in a previous teener. Both were fine, but after all, they were just seats. Right? The stock ones are not that bad and I thought I was reasonably content. GTS Classics was at the Porsche Club race this weekend with samples on display. Here is my review of the products they offer: All of them are top quality. Stefan is a very nice guy to talk to. Monte Carlo = Nice seat that belongs in a bigger car with room to recline. Rallye ST = Very comfortable. A nice choice for a long trip. Wide enough for anyone. Nurburgring = Very similar to the Scheel. High support under your knees. Le Mans = AWESOME. Excellent in every way. The PERFECT 914 seat for me. I was truely amazed at how much I liked this seat. The fit and support are superb. Just enough support for your legs. The sides grip your butt like it was custom made. The upper kidney bolsters are just right. The lumbar and back are molded to perfection. As soon as I sat in one, I knew I had to have one. The other are nice, really nice. The Le Mans is Fantastic!!! It is rare to find a product that is this good. I have yet to see one installed in a 914. I have no doubt that it will work as well as the seller advertises. Now my only question is what material do I want and where do I find the money to pay for it? |

John if I may ask, how big are you? I'm 5'7" and 205. I really like the looks of this seat, but I hate to order it only find out that my (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) won't fit.

I'm 5' - 10" and 150 lbs. The LeMans fit me fine. I was well supported by the seat, but there was enough room for a larger (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) . While I was talking to the seller another potential buyer came by. He was about 6' - 2" and 250 lbs. He tried the same seat also. He said it was OK, but he liked the Rallye ST better. L --> R. Rallye ST, LeMans, Nurburgring, Monte Carlo. * (note - the head rest on the LeMans is not the proper one) Attached image(s)

As the New Oregon Distributor for the GTS seats made by BF TORINO. I will be bringing a sample of seats with me to the WCC 2005 in Camarillo. I will also have some mounted in a 914 so that everyone can try on for size.
I have Konigs,Scheels and Factory GT seats at CAMP 914, and the GTS seat by BF TORINO really is much more superior. The quality of construction and materials are way beyond the other seats. Craig C. Laughlin CAMP 914 |

I know the question has been asked before, but will there be other vinyl basketweave colors available? My Black '76 has the tan seats, and I would love to upgrade the driver's side, without it being mismatched.
They look great! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) TC |

I wrote you some time back about Houndstooth material. The color of my choice is black/white. Any news on this material? I would be interested in the LeMans model with black leather sides and back, and the black/white houndstooth insert.

Hi Ricky,
thanks for your interest and getting back to me. I am waiting for the first seat in the black and white houndstouth,which I will have with me (hopefully it is in the mail) to the Porsche Swap Meet in Hershey,PA on the 23 of April. As soon as I have it I will make pictures and post them here. Prices are so far unknown...sorry. sincerely Stefan GTS |

Hello one and all, Does anybody on your side of the pond know of a supplier for the original type cloth facing material for the seats? My car is a 1970 and has a sort of fine cord type material in black. I did contact one supplier in the States but he won't post to the UK. Anybody any ideas. Thanks Steve S |
