Seat selection

[The Chief]

Could I get some recommendations as to seats for a 1987 924S for Autocrossing and street use? My stock seats are a bit worn, and I'd like to upgrade in this area. I checked into a set of Corbeaus, but the seat bottom measurement would have interfered with the emergency/parking brake. Any ideas as to a Sparco or Recaro that would slip right in, without drilling or having to sell my firstborn? Thanks!

I'm looking at Cobra Misano's or Netami "Euro Racing Seats" for the same application over here. I know the latter will fit, but I want something as light as possible, yet with access to the rear seats for my 3 year old (So a non-folding ClubSport seat is out).

The other consideration is to mount them as low as possible, as clearance to steering wheel is not generous during much arm-twiddling.

interfere with the parking brake? Who says?

Corbeau Forzas are cheap, light, and look great.

TY both for your responses! I measured across the seat well (torque tube well to door ledge), and the distance appeared to be about the same as the width of the seat. Assuming the interior dimensions of the 944 and the 924S are the same, I probably just need new glasses, as yours seems to fit quite nicely, lol. CJ, how does that back rest feel after being seated for a while? I'm not concerned much with rear-seat access, as my family is pretty much grown, and the smallest kid MAY fit on the trunk ledge if we fold the rear seat down. Thanks again.
