Hello All,
Has anyone driven or sat in a 914 with a Sebring seat from GTS Classics? I have read several previous threads regarding these aftermarket seats. The owner, Stefan, told me that the Sebring is two notches above the stock 914 seat as far as support goes, with the LeMans being the first step up. From the looks of the two seats, the LeMans appears to offer mostly hip support, whereas the Sebring looks to offer both hip and torso support. I am not racing the car and I do want to keep the backpad. The Sebrings have a much sharper angle at the back of the seat than do the stock seats, so I am not expecting them to sit snug in the backpad recess, but I don't want them to look too out of place either. I imagine with the back of the seat at such an angle, my reach to the steering wheel will be a bit longer. I will be using my stock '74 shoulder belt, but Stefan recommended using a rear seat belt receptacle from a 911 to use in place of the stock 914 receptacle so that I can loop it through the hole that would be made in the seat, as in the photo below. Any experience or thoughts on the driving feel of these seats or the way they look at the back/against the backpad would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Very interested in this thread as i just got a quote from Stefan on a pair of LeMans seats for the 75. I had scheels in my 73 before turning it to tack only use and liked how those felt but feel like too much upper torso support makes it harder to live with for street only.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I replaced my Scheel with a LeMans 15 years / 100K miles ago.
