I found some Recaro Evo 8 seats for $400 (for both) on Craigslist. The seats were absolutely mint. I have been looking for a while and want to thank Carlege for telling me about them.

These seats were very easy to fit into the 951 as the sliders are on 16 inch centers, the same as the stock seats. I also had my roll-bar powder coated and installed 4 point harnesses.

Jealous!

When it comes to buying aftermarket seats, I wish I had a black interior, but when the hot sun hits them, I'm glad I have a lighter-color

WOW! Very nice. How do they fit your hips and torso compared to the stock seats?

The Evo seats are surprisingly comfortable yet tight, really no comparison.

Ya, bought the belts off Ebay on the cheap, any suggestions on some reasonably priced quality belts?

Front slider holes lined up with the stock mounting locations, only had to drill two holes for the rear slider mounting.
