Default what seats do you have in your 964?

I have a set of Corbeau adjustable buckets that are well past their prime, the original sport seats are long gone, and have had my eye on a set of Pole Positions since I like the fixed bucket look a lot better (and they're more comfortable, generally). This seems like a pretty standard choice these days. As much as I like the look of the sport seats, they're not quite supportive enough if I wanted to do track/autocross again. I'm of two minds- one, get modern, black leather or suede buckets and call it a day, or two, going "period correct" but not necessarily stock, and find some vintage or vintage-look buckets that are a little more interesting (and probably a lot more pricey).

I had some recaro SRDs previously that I loved aside the fact that they were a magnet for pug fur. Went back to my stock seats and sold them a year ago, and I really kick myself in the *** for that. Have considered the recaro sportster GTs as a replacement, but I also have a hard time getting over the fact they're not exactly period correct.

I have Pole Position ABEs. They are very comfortable and look period correct. I’m a little tall for them but I’m not using harnesses so it’s okay.

The ABE version has more room at the hips and allows the seat belt buckle to be on the inside of the seat. I find that more comfortable than the standard ones and safer since the belt is tight against you all the way around.

Recaro SPG was the seat in the 964 cups. Great seats, snug fit and looks the part.

Im in the same boat looking for seat options. I like poles but they seem to be a bit tall in the 964 cabin. SPG's are slightly more cut down at the top and give a better look in my opinion. Would like to know some opinions on this as well.

Recaro Pole Positions. They’re the classic choice for hotrod 964. I think they fit the cabin perfectly given the narrow profile towards the top.

Recaro CS Sportsters.
Support of a bucket but still reclining for rear access.
They're light too.
