since teener seats seem rather difficult to come by out east here, i was wondering if there are any other porsche seats that would bolt in fairly easily. i figure the biggest concern would be seat height as stock seats ride pretty low. just thinking of maybe making a change.......

like these on ebay

thanks

Yeah, they fit with the roof off.

The non-reclining Recaro buckets fit, they cost about 3k a seat, before restoration..

You can buy a set of nice 914 seats for less than $100 per seat.. most times.

Are there any other manufacturer seats out there that fit? I really liked the seats in a 328i from 1997. I measured them once, but they were just too big (too tall in the seat area). Always wondered if Porsche or BMW or maybe VW had a seat in a 1980's-1990's car that would look good in a teener (and be a little more confortable for a street car.

Copper goes on these and then the bolster gets glassed into the seat. I think these will fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Strange, there are place holders with x's in them for two of the pictures, and then those crappy seat frames..

I don't get it.. maybe I can't see because I refuse to see.

The 4th ID is going to find you Eric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It seems to me that the following would fit our cars.

BMW Z3 coupe or roadster seats
Miata seats
Jetta seats
S2000 seats...
Lotus seats
Toyota Mr2 seats

Seems that they are all small roadsters...
Someone in the sterio thread had some custom seats that look might comfortable.....

Those are RS sports, they are very similar to the GT seats available for the M471 optioned 914s, but they are even more rare, because that set has the ST profile.

Eric saved almost $7000!!!

I think that C4 Corvette seats will fit and work very well. Finding them at the right price, however, may be a problem.
