Default seats that fit 944? aftermarket?

hola.

what seats do you guys usually use in the 944? the seats i really wanted to get seem too big. 38"H seems ok but the 22" wide seems like it would be a reallllllllll squeeze if it would even fit.

im trying to find out if the measurement is from the base or top of the seats because they are misano style seats

I wonder how the quality is of these seats, they certainly are a bargain even compared to Corbeau seats (which are fairly cheap)

yea they were.... like $350 or so. ill be posting a new topic here when they arrive. My interior should be well...nearly done. i have to order that race dash from lindsey racing this week. then buy all the gauges. I have never had to wire in tach, oil pres, fuel pres, fuel quant, and other gauges before so this should be interested. i also got this to put in to...


so all that should be done soon. then all i will need is a cage...which is easier said than done.

then in early may ill be spraying the whole car HOK kandy apple red (using the gold base for a darker red)

oh and doug, yes these are the MRC seats, i did not want leather because i seem to always have crap in my pockets haha

Hey spoolin' -- you better check with the sanctioning body you are planning on playing with on the track...

While adjustable seat backs are ok for DE's and AX's, they don't fly in club racing -- you'll need a fixed back seat for that, along with a seat brace.
