New race seats in various colors. I can offer a pair (2) to 914 club members for $295 (shipping included for US only).
(IMG:http://gtautoperformance.com/ebay1/redraceseats.jpg) I was asked about the sizes, so here's an attached graphic for the measurements. The seat is only going to work without your backpad. This is a new product for me, so feedback is appreciated. (IMG:http://gtautoperformance.com/ebay1/seatmeasur.jpg) |

How well would these work for us short folk? I noticed the seat length is 22". Plus I noticed the front of the bottom seat cusion seems fat and the back end of the bottom seat cusion looks like it dips in. The length from the bend of my knees to my tail bone is only 19". Would someone like me with short legs be able to sit in these and still be able to get the bend of the knees over the wide front seat cusion and still be able to touch the floor?

Can these seats mount to the oem seat rails?
Are the backs on these seats adjustable? As far as tilting back. It is hard to tell from the picture. |

They come with their own mounting hardware. By no means are they a bolt on for the OEM rails. So, no to the OEM rails. Of course I would say the same of Sparco seats - and yet they look great in the 914. The seats are also not adjustable. Again the same can be said of other race seats that I have seen in Porsche 914s. I hope this helps with your decision. Greg |

They do slide forward and back though, correct?
Mark D. Probably a stupid question whatever the answer is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) |

Fine question. The seats are not going to adjust forward or back. It is very much like adding the Sparco seat into a 914. I hope this helps.

Unless you're short. I guess then you could squeeze it in.

I have made mods for mounting a Sparco seat to the factory rails, without much difficulty. However, ten years ago, the Sparco seat cost Me, $650! I prefer the racing seat, with the cutouts for harnesses, but money is always a concern!
