I have a set of scheels seats in my 914. I measured them and they came out to the same as these seats. Just wondered if anyone has used them. At $125 with the sliders and shipped seems like a steal.

So how would those 30 round "coins" feel in your butt and back?

I just ordered a set of Le Mans seats from GTS Classics and suspect StratPlayer is spot on with "you get what you pay for". My bet/concern is they aren't suspended and may not be "strong". Quality is likely suspect...?

Take a read of the GTS site and you'll see disclaimers about injury, etc.

All that said, for $125, if they don't work out, you'll have a cool set of patio furniture or man cave chairs!

For the money, likely worth a try for some.
I wonder if the mounting on the bottom lines up with what you need in a 914?
The "coins" are pretty common in some vintage seats and shouldn't pose an issue...you'd likely not even know they are there.
If you could get these in tartan plaids, then you might have something then.

Like these from GTS that I recently purchased:

That right there? That's awesome.

Plus, they are very Christmas-y so you also earn the "Well Timed Post of the Week" award! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Fairly sure that some old Ferraris and early lambos had the coin thing going on.

Lost interest in the cheap seats now Raynekat has posted his picture......loving those and do I spy a lumber support pump? You know your getting old when you like seats with gizmos like that

I don't think the mounting works on a 914. If you play with their car selector it says incompatible. You'd have to do some fab work on the seat rail mounting. Not a big deal if you have the means, but a factor.

Definitely made in China and sold by a Chinese distributing warehouse.

If they really are a clone of the Scheel seats then $240/pr shipped is not bad. I'd just replace the black vinyl with something better.

And if I lived in nearby in Socal I'd make a cash offer of half.

Watkins Glen....from GTS.
Raw fiberglass backs with the lumbar support, thus the pump bulbs.
And yes, one is getting oldish if you need all those kinds of gizmos.
Gotta like them gizmos...

Strong point about these seats is that they are designed to fit perfectly into the cutout in the rear firewall pad just like the stock seats.
Plus they are "sport" seats with the higher bolsters.

I'm tempted to put a star on the top with lights and some ornaments, and then just fill them will Christmas gifts this year....since they're not in the car yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
