Default seats for an 87 street build

Looking to turn one of my race cars into a street build.

I am thinking of a nice modern seat.

What seems to be the best fit in the car and yet incredibly comfortable for those drive from the valley to the beach?

I have a pair of original SC seats if you want.

FWIW I've decided to go the 964 / 993 seat route. Bit of a change from an electrical fitting standpoint, but nothing too crazy.

I went with these https://www.recaro-automotive.com/en...o-sportster-cs. A little tricky to fit with the center belt position but great support and profile is close to oem. Can find some pics installed if interested

The big decision is whether you want the seat to recline / fold forward for access to the rear or not.

After that is mostly just looks and comfort (the latter means you really need to try them out).

The final factor is dog hair retention...
