944 Front Seat Options...
Discussion
HI Everyone, the seats in my 944 are getting a bit tired, and I've been looking for some replacements - ebay turns up a few replacement options but I'm wondering what the most comfortable seats I could put in there would be.
As well as being more than a smidge on the portly side, I've got a big frame, and on a long drive (3 hrs+, that I do quite often) the edges of the seat frames start to dig into my hips, so I'm wondering is it just that my seats are knackered, or is it likely a feature of the 944 seats, in which case I'd be better off looking at something different from regular 944 seats for replacement?
I don't remember it being an issue in my old 944, which had had some repairs in the drivers seat, but then again it was a few years ago and I didn't use it for many long journeys, so question to the PH Pork people - what's my best option for long distance comfort seats:
1) A set of good condition used 944/968/964 seats - effectively like-for-like replacement
2) Get my seats rebuilt - new foam/covers - any recommendations in the North West?
3) Seats from something else that might fit well - Boxster/996/928 etc?
I'm not looking to spend a huge amount, but I do plan on keeping the car for the forseeable future, as I love the way it drives and the way it looks, so don't mind spending money I wouldn't see back if I sold it...
