Jason E Posted 7August, 2017 Report Share Posted 7August, 2017 Advice please.The seats in my 944S2 need to be recovered (front faces only). The leather faces have shrunk & cracked. Quoted $800 in full, flash, Germanic perforated leather. The seats work & there are no real issues with them other than the re upholstery requirements.I am thinking though is it better to invest that money in some newer more modern reclining seats. (don't really need them to be powered, just have to recline & be comfortable). Emphasis on usability as a daily rather than as a race seat. Must be leather - don't want cloth or Alcantera.I really like the Recaro Sportster CS type seat. Anyone have any recommendations that aren't ridiculously/ hideously/ horribly expensive? again thankyou for your advice.cheers,Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 7August, 2017 Report Share Posted 7August, 2017 It's your choice Jason, only my opinion, but if $800 gives you a good set of original seats I'd be going for it, unless you're driving a modified track weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as what's in a 964. IMO very nice seats. every single person has sat in my car has complimented the seats. I can do 2-3 hour trips no issues. I would be reupholstering the seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
