I have an early model, 1983 944 5spd that needs new passenger seat , but drivers seat is allright, so I was looking around for options and wanted to know what everyone is using.
I'm looking @ Corbeau LG1

thanks

What's wrong with your passenger's seat? Is it cosmetic, or do you have something broken? If it's good cosmetically, and you can take off the leather/pleather/whtever that's on your current seat, I have some mechanically sound but horribly ugly seats - you can have the passenger side one if I don't have to deal with shipping the thing.

I have a pair of Momo RS-GT seats in my 924S...they need aftermarket mounting brackets (as do any aftermarket seat) but they fit really well and they're much more supportive than my factory seats were

the passenger seat does not fix, so if there is a little hard braking - it slides forward, or backwards, I think there is a reclining issue too; it's part cloth part leather, and all the cloth is ripped up with foam (or w/e that material) is creeping out of there

so I wanted to take a look a round and see which seats fit, but the color scheme of the seat has to match the car and interior - they have to come in red/black color

I put seats out of a Honda Prelude in my 944. They are SO much nicer! I used the seat tracts off of the stock seats. I had to do a little welding so I could bolt on the tracts. Looks great!

if you go with recaro, and want a set of the tracks PM me. i have a set of the tracks that are like new.

So what would be the cheapest seats that won't kill you?

roman944

well, I really liked how those Corbeau LG1's look, the only thing that I'm afraid for is that they wont actually fit into the car, or look too big if they do

I looked around for original Porsche seats on ebay, but they are way too expensive

i have a set of black seats with 70k miles on em. pretty nice condition. four way electric. check the posts i started around july for a post with pictures.

roman944

how will that work though? I didn't know early models came with power seats ...

I have recaro srd's in my car and they bolt right up to the factory sliders

RMills944

Corbeau TRS seats fit with the sliders. Not the best pic, but it'll have to do for now.

roman944

do you have pics?

that looks great, I can picture them with red sides, do you have a pic from the front? slidesr can be bought from Corbeau? do t hey make rails that fit 944's?

thanks!

Tom R.

they are from my 89 S2. there is a wire on the bottom of the seat. find a power source, run a wire under the carpet to the seat and 'viola' you have a power seat.

the recaro srd's in my S2 look like the corbeaus in the picture.

i had a set of momo street racer gt's in my 951. they needed and adapter plate.

i dont like the way the SRDs fit in teh car using the regular recaro sliders so i bought the height adjustable sliders for 100 a seat and the adapter plate made by wedge for about 75 a seat. now i have a set of regular sliders for sale.
