What do you have or dream of for your front seats?

I have five Sport Seat by Recaro pairs, leather, in both Series one and two - 944s/ 951s. And a pair in cloth in an Audi 4000 "S" L.E. They conform and hold you tight thru any g-load.

Wish ALL my Porsches had them. The series two seating is a bit higher bolstered than the series one style, which for me (the 1s) are the most comfortable Porsche seats I have ever sat in.

Even more so than those in the newer GT3 RS




Once you have sat in a really good RECARO, everything else seems to fit like this ~

+1 on later sport seats.

unless it's a full on race car, any of the "aftermarket racing seats" just look like **** and aren't very comfortable.
not to mention the 72-point BDSM harnesses...

street car...stick with the stock normal or sport seats.

And I dream of more of this view from within them :

The all leather Sports seats in my 84 seem to hug me every time I drive it

I love the look of my late sport seats and the way they hold me. They are however a little to tight for me. I am getting used to them, but the non sport seats are much more comfortable, but don't provide the support.

I run early sport seats and love them. Best upgrade I have done to the car.

My car originally had late confort seats ,most comfortable but they lack side support.
Then i changed to early sport seats and although i love the feel of them ,great bolsters and comfort, i absolutely hate the adjustability.
Now i have full leather late sport seats ,these are near perfect in every aspect , i love them.

I would like an electric chair, so in the event of a catastrophic engine failure, I can end it all.

Late sport seats here.

One concern of mine is the seat belt is bolted to the seat and not to the frame of the car.

An idea why Porsche designed it this way?

Catamax944 - the cancan red seats look great. What adjustment did you need on the early seats?

I'm lucky enough to have excellent OEM sport seats in my 911 , although the Cobra Sebring in my race car is super comfortable as well ... although i'm not sure i would drive cross country with it

My old 951 had sport seats which were nice and snug...my S2 has regular seats which are more comfortable. For the street I like the regular seats however if I get out on the track for a lapping session I will miss the extra support the sport seats.

Thanks but the color is Lipstick red in full leather including sides and rear (very very rare).Also its NOS OE 1986 leather ,my but was the first one in these seats.
I'm 6'3'' tall and 286 pounds , the tilt adjustment on the late seats makes a much more comfortable seating position for me and the backrest lever is very easy to use instead of the early seat **** that is almost impossible to get to with the door closed plus the late seat rails are much smoother.
