What aftermarket seats do you have in your 911?

[APachon71RN]

I am looking to add aftermarket seats to my car and am curious to hear and hopefully see with photos what all you have in yours and would like to see clearance to shifter as well as to door of both leg/thigh bolster as well as shoulder bolster.

Thanks in advance for helping out with this.

I have Corbeau seats in my SC. They are lightweight and recline so the back seats are usable. I bought them used off of Pelican back in 2009.

They are a bit snug. I am 5'7" and my weight varies between 170-180.

My shifter setup is a mix of bits and pieces but I don't have any issues with hitting the seats/legs in any gears.

Here's a pic from a thread I started after dying them black. They were faded from the sun.

Recaro Speed 5 seats. Adjustable back, works with stock belts, accepts 5/6 point belts.
Lighter, lower, no shifter interference, narrow fit.

^ +1 on the Recaros. I have SRDs and they're awesome; light, snug, low, bolt right in without adapters, etc.

I just ordered a set of custom seats from GTS Classics in TX. A bit on the expensive side but able to choose from a variety of styles, leather types and even opted for custom double French stitching. Check out their web site. Stefan the owner has been great to deal with! Should arrive and be ready to install before spring gets here in NH.
Good luck with your search. Cheers!

Pics are older but here you go

Sorry for the quality- mounting these was a long long process

Saxen, that is what I am talking about. What model are those? The look awesome.

Oddly, I don't have any of the seats specifically, and the car is away for the winter.
Not much help, but this is all I have.

Here are more pics- I can take more in a few weeks of the actuall seat setup. The seats are sparco ego 2. I had to do some fab work to lower them enough to be safe on the track- I'm only 6 foot even but needed the extra 2 inches-

Inez, thanks for the photo. What seats are these? They look good.

Saxen, Did you not have enough clearance for your helmet? I am 5'8" I need to research those EGO2s but I really like these OMP WRC-Rs

Recaro Speed Seats. Mine has an opening in the bottom cushion for sub belts.
I really like them.

^^ I'm liking that funky warped checkerboard insert, is it custom?

[APachon71RN]

i think you've got EVO2 versus EGO2s. How close are the in-board shoulder points to each other? Those are really good looking seats.

What shift lever and shift knob are those?

Loved the holding power of the SRDs. Butt on long hauls they really hurt my butt, so they had to go.

This is actually in my 1966 912 "Outlaw" project. Just installed some Scat seats. Those are popular with the aircooled VW crowd, but have a great vintage feel to them. And they look fairly correct in a long hood:

There is a 73 911 on a Bring a trailer auction today, that has the same seats installed:

Those Scat Rally seats look nice!
