Perhaps not but they are safe! I've always thought they looked cool, but how are they on a long drive?? With the padding they are far better than the cheap poly seats. The only issue is how to mount them. I would weld two bars going from the heater channel to the tunnel and use them as a mount for the seats.

The trouble with 914 seats is that they lack any sideways support. Look good, but barely any more supportive than a stock VW seat round corners.

Is there a way of building up the bolsters on the 914 seat for more lateral support ? There again, my 145's ar'nt too good on corners anyway ![Cheesy](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

For me the coolest seat is the Recaro Rallye II, manufactured from 1974 to 1979. It has adjustable back rest and a metal exoskeleton in wrinkle finish... you can also see the padding thru windows in the side. They were optional from M-sport for the 2002Tii BMW: ![](http://h11.abload.de/img/bmwmotorsportsitze2o2j2w.jpg) And they were standard fitment to the Scirocco junior Cup cars: ![](http://website.lineone.net/~dr.dub/driversbucket.jpg) Some better pics: ![](http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads10/Copy+of+brseat+0011177524526.jpg) ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_xu7qFVHBOKk/TZ6tZauKTYI/AAAAAAAABL0/bWTorl6VXvU/DSC_7611.jpg) ![](http://www.weinkath-carwheels.de/subaru/forester/p6240017.jpg)

Got these in mine. Look good but headrest is pointless, it hits below my shoulders. I'm planning a change in the future. ![](http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll218/Bathtub57/TKX%20836/275538f3.jpg)

Have you guys seen the TMI Sport seat kits in the March issue of Hot VW''s ? That's the route I am going! Finally, kits to hop up your original VW seats that look awesome! Just wondering how much they really firm up the seat pads? ![Huh](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Seems the springs have to weaken in these original seats over time. I beat a good seat guy could firm them up too. The new TMI gives your stock seat that wrap around fit to hold you in place, yet still looks original! I like it alot! ![Wink](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Man -- you guys with your shoulder harnesses anchored well below your shoulders -- you need to do something about that - PLEASE -- one hard hit with those on can cause more damage/injury to you than if you hadn't worn them at all
