Default I've got MKII VW Recaros with power tilt bases. Not too bad to retrofit.

Other OEM seats have been made to work (TT seats, B5 seats) but AFAIK the MKII VWs are the easiest.<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17727&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder =asc&amp;start=25">MG project thread</a></li></ul>

Default Hey, those are the Jetta Trophy seats from 89 and 90, in Canada.They were
comfy, if you weighed less than 200 lbs.

You are correct, sir. Very comfy, and happen to match the car well. The tilt bases are nice too.
