Are those the ones with the wicker basket weave head part? I love those seats & for the opportunity to just have them in my car... I wouldn't care how they feel! Just do it and post some pics!

I did not use a porsche seat but I did upgrade to Cloth Recaros from an Audi A4. Here is a pic of the drivers seat in my car. I now have the passenger side seat installed but I do not have a current pic. I think they are really comfortable. The seat bottom is about 2-3 inches higher than stock. I am 6ft and my head still has about 3 inches of room before I hit the roof. The seats were free and that was the best part. I just welded the stock 2002 rails on the bottom of the seats, bolted them in and went for a "spirited drive" to see how they hold me in place. I am very happy with my project.

I bought a '75 from a guy in Houston that had Recaro Classics from a 911 in it

running the electrics was simple, Finding a schematic and inflatable bladders was not so simple.

I have the seats from a 924S in mine.

They sit a little off center and were fairly easy to mod. You need to widen the tracks 1 inch ( I just welded bolts to the seats themselves to get what I wanted ) and drill a new hole at the end of the seat tracks about an inch father back than the original. I supose you could use the original BMW seat tracks and mate them to the seats but I just used the Porsche ones, now the factory seat slider lever does nothing ( but the one on the Porsche seat rail works fine )

I'll pull them out and reset them towards the middle of the car when I get around to it ( not a high priority at the moment ) .

I've got 911 Recaros in mine (w/electric tilt adjust). I think they fit/line up fine and have a great seating position (not high at all). I have a custom mounting rail along the trans-tunnel (aluminum L-rail), but it still uses the stock mount on the outsides - so I can use the original fore-aft adjusters. They do sit slightly outboard - about 1-inch seat center to steering wheel center, though when driving it's not noticeable at all (pic seems to show more, that's perspective working to exagerate it - I cropped this out of a larger pic centered on the car - see my avatar). BTW, I even had my rear seats reupholstered to match the pinhole leather center panels of the Recaros.
