Default Recaro A8 on the 'bay

It may look sorry for itself, but it is "the" holy grail of seats. and at that price, it is even reasonable when you factor in a re-cover.

In a word, no. Recline button has to be on the inside of the seat only. If you're over 180cm or have long legs, you may not be able to slide it back enough.
But since that one would need a refurbish, it is the right time to adapt it to the car. Still one of the best seats there is.

Search the 993 forum - for examples of fitment. Same fitment in 964.

A pair of A8 will fit 964. I've seen these seats in a '79 SC.

Default I've got the Recaros in my Audi S8...

...and absolutely love them. I've got some serious spine problems, but can sit in these for hours on end. They are heated and covered in high quality all leather. I highly recommend them.
