Those tenths add up quick though Abby! Paul is doing my seats and misc. pieces and I would recommend his work without hesitation. There really is no better to be had anywhere. Yes it is reasonably expensive and takes a while, but if you want/demand perfection he's should be your choice. I never thought the aftermarket seats looked quite right in a 928 street car IMHO.

I have a Recaro SRD for track days and ORR. Gives me enough room to wear a helmet comfortably (I'm 6'-01"). Reclines and moves fore/aft. However, I find it uncomfortable for everyday driving. Eventually I just get a sore lower back, and you can't really move around much. But when I'm cinched down with a 5-pt harness, it's great!
BTW, Jim has the same Recaro in his GTS as pictured above, only in leather...very nice!
Here's a couple pics for comparison. 1st is next to the stock 1980 drivers seat, 2nd is installed in the 1980 ex-Callaway turbo.

Kevin, I gained a couple inches of headroom in both the 1980 and the 1987 928's, using Recaro mounts on the stock rails.
I have a Devek roll-bar for mounting the shoulder-harness. (I take the roll-bar out as well when not racing.) The lap belt mounts to adaptors fitted to the stock seatbelt mount points. I think I used Boxster adaptors. Sub belt bolted to floor, with big-*** washers.
