Default Sport Seats question

Found these on Pelican at what looks to be a decent price.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...3-2-944-a.html

Wondering if it's true that 993 and 964 seats have the same mounting points?
Any feedback on this "Classic 9" shop and the pricing?

Thanks in advance

Classic9 is a great "shop," with fair prices. Do a search to confirm.

The 964 and 993 seats are interchangeable, the rails are the same.

The color is not something that would match a 993, just FYI. Also, I'm not sure that these seats were not _made_ into sports seats. The bottom thigh supports are a bit flat, looking at the pics, but I might be wrong.

Classic 9 is good. Pricing - hard to tell. These are not 993 sports seats, so unicorn factor to drive the price up.

The problem that gets me with recovered seats is they always look loose. Why can't they look like they came from the factory?

I have seen these seats personally (I helped install the seat and took it out when owner realized he ordered the wrong color). The seats are mint, and and the leather is top notch and soft as a baby's bottom.

I agree with Cactus, the leather looks a bit loose, but Classic 9 assures they will firm up in the sun and you can even take a blow dryer to accelerate the process. These are all leather seats including the backs.

They look like 964 models.
