Here are a pair of Sport Seats just like those in my '86 928.

Those aren't sport seats, they are the normal comfort seats.

BrianG

The reason I think that they ARE Sport Seats is that they have the same control-switches as mine, which is "fore and aft elevation", only. There isn't a great deal of apparent visual difference between regular seats and Sport Seats.
If there was a way to be absolutely certain that these were Regular seats, I'd want them!! Anybody got an absolute determination method?

BrianG

Brendan provided the answer, guys. Here is a pic of my seats. Note the HUGE difference in side-bolster.

Hey Brian,

Why don't you like the sport seats? I thought I had heard they were comfortable?

Brian,

cant help here.... good luck on the seats

Looking for seats that arent trashed. (Sport or Not)

At 6'2" and 225, I find the SportSeats too narrow at the hips. My legs eventually go to sleep from the pressure on the gtr trochanters. Also, the larger bolsters "hug" my spare tire just a bit too intimately!! <img src="http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/elefant.gif" alt=" - " />

Zandramus... My seats are Grey-beige and show typocal wear for a '86 car with 75k miles. They are presentable enough except that the drivers-side bolster is worn through. The local upscale upholstery shop suggested that it would take $300.00 Canadian to effect an appropriate repair. I can get pics if you are still interested.

Have you considered other brands of seat?

Zandramus

I have an apoulstry guy here that is going to work on mine, I am 6'4" and 285 lbs so if they do that to you I think they would do it to me.

I have spent so much on the car in the last two weeks my wife is getting mad I need to do this a little at a time I guess also need to prioritise.

cheers

Brian,
My own experience is just the opposite. I'm 6'3" , 235 and my first 928 was an '82 5 spd w sport seats. My '88 5 spd has the 'comfort' seats w all the adjustments and I actually thought the sport seats were more comfortable on long trips even though they were 'manual'. Different strokes I guess.

I think I recall reading that all sport seats are manual adjustment (just back/forward and a **** for the back position...are yours?

Jim:
Mine have power lift of the seat base. One switch for fore, and one switch for aft. This also provides for seat height adjustment if used together.

Slide fore and aft is manual, and seatback tilt-angle is manual.

Brian,
You wouldn't, by any chance, be of the medical persuasion? Gtr trochanters???? Mere mortals usually refer to them as hipbones.

BrianG

Actually, I'm a bone kinda guy...... a chiropractor, and totally a mere mortal. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

I was going to say "hip bones" but those are usually what one hangs his belt on, and they are actually part of the pelvis (iliac crests). The "hip bones" I referred to are part of the thigh bone, just outboard of the ball-and-socket of the hip joint......... <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" />

and I thought 928 nomenclature was obtuse!!

Let's see:

Foot bone connected to the leg bone, leg bone connected to the hip bone, the hip bone connected to the iliac crests...

I don't know, it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones

When one has a hip replacement the Bone cracker saws off the neck of the femur, which contains the greater trochanter.
