Default 911/993/996 seats in a 944

Anybody have first hand experience installing a set of seats from a 911/993/996 into a 944?

Will they bolt up or are modifications necessary?

I have a set of (can't remember the year, but it was after 1987) 911RS sport seats in my 1987 951 - they slide right into the existing rails.

I don't think you will have a problem - but make sure you know for sure before you buy.

Dunno about the differences in the 944, but late model 968s had the same seats as the 993, I believe.

993 seats will fit up fine but 996 and Boxster seats have different mounting rails and I don't think they can be swapped with 944/911 rails.

yup.. 993 seats fit fine in 87 944 and later... or 968. or any 74 through 98 911 model.... as well as 928s...


In case anyone is interested.. I have a set of absolute mint 993 seats in black FS (full power driver, partial power passenger)
