Favorite seats in your 944/951
I'm thinking of upgrading from my stock 944 seats, but to another set of stock seats, not a hard race seat.
Lately I've been working in a shop where we have alot of interior pieces, from 911's to 924's.
I was looking at my choices the other day and I wondered what all of your favorites for seats to put in your cars are, or different interior peices and little things like inside.
I know it's kind of random, but I'm fairly new here!

Which model 944 have you got ? If you want to stick with stock Porsche seats then I would recommend 944 Turbo ones (if you can find any for sale!), just as comfy as regular 44 seats but with additional side support.
I believe these pictured below are 944 turbo or possibly 911 items.
The seat below is what I have in mine, suprisingly comfortable, but obviously not original !

I have the factory sport seats in mine. They are very expensive to get nowadays, but the best bet is probably to get some in sub-par condition and recover them.

StevePH, those are the optional sport seats, you could get them in any 944/951/911 of that era. I had 8 way power heated full leather sport seats in my old 944, they were a $1200 option in 85.5 IIRC.
These continued into the 968 model, changing sometime in 94 into the same type used in the 993's, with curved stitching. A set just sold on ebay for $1200, which was dirt cheap.

On a similar topic, who supplies really good upholstery kits for a 944 without charging the same price as the dealer?
