Best Leather Sport Seats for SC?
I want to replace my orignal seats with leather sport seats. My car is a daily driver and I would like to retain as much adjustability and back seat accessability as possible.
Do the Recaro SPDs or SPGs come in leather? Cost? Does anyone have an opinion on Sparco Milianos in leather? How about the Recaro GT-3 seats? I know I lose adjustability, but do I also lose access to my back seat?
I'm open to any and all opinions/suggestions.
Thanks.

I just installed Sparco Torino's (non - leather) in my SC.
Looks great. Seen leather milano's in 911 w/ black interior, looks good and intergrates well. Looks almost factory. No interference with shifter. Seat does seem slightly higher though compared to the old sport seats. Didn't need to adjust any mirrors though. Go figure.
The Sparco's are nice, but a bit tight for larger frames (i'm 5'10 @ 205_) and they're a snug fit. Took a moment to get used to compared to the old squishy seat. It's a good fit now. The SPD's are real nice as well, but the Sparco fabric seems like a better match for the 911 (IMHO). Also like the fact that the Sparco's have pads where they would wear out from getting in - out of car. If you're a real big guy, you may be better served w/ Recaros.
Overall quality of the seat seems to be pretty good. Nice solid frame and the ***** and levers seem like they'll last awhile. Fabric seems pretty heavy and good quality. The leather is real nice as well.
Purchased from Speedware incidentally. 2 Thumbs up on the service there. Still waiting for the passenger seat (backordered! <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> )
enjoy.

they have the various recaros and also GT3s. You may want to also think about the Recaro RS seats that came in the 964 speedster and 964/993 RS - quite a bit cheaper than the GT3 but still not cheap.
