311RS

First shown here in a Porsche 991 GT3 by 311RS, we're proud to launch the 311RS-spec Recaro bucket seat. These are built using OEM materials - leather, alcantara, and stitching, along with a factory-like seat cover design. The idea for these came about after our first track day sliding around with factory 18-way seats.



The goal was to deliver an aftermarket Recaro bucket seat with factory fit and finish at a fair price. OEM Porsche seats can be hard to come by and in today's market at quite a premium. With Recaro-specifc seat mounts available for most Porsche models, we're extending the program beyond the 991 GT3 platform.



The seats shown are Recaro's Profi XL model. The owner of this particular 991 GT3 is on the taller side at 6'4", which meant we needed a larger bucket to fit him properly. They fit great yet at the same time fit a 5'10 & 6'1" frame just as well. For compact drivers, we also offer the Recaro Pole position seat with this same treatment.

Below is a quick rundown of the seats on offer, with more info on our website here - http://www.311rs.com/product-release...-recaro-seats/

If you have any questions about the seats, by all means just ask. We'd love to see a few 981 GT4s or Spyders with these installed. Below are a few examples we've built for RL members -

Very nice and ok price. Might have to think about these....

Wow! These look fantastic. I just might have to go this route.

Do these also have height adjustment?
Do these also have the necessary cuts for the full harness?

What's the install procedure? I'm guessing you have to code out the airbag light and the seat weight sensor for the passenger. Can you give details there? Have you installed in the GT4/981? I understand the 981 is narrower than the GT3 so there could be rubbing.

I must say these do look great and may just be the seats i need to forget about LWB.

LWB's value will plummet

Having seen these seats, I can truly attest to their quality and attention to detail. Planning to acquire a set myself in the near future.

lar and brendan

these are going into my car this week at tony's

stay tuned

brendan - they are height adjustable (via fixed bolts, not push button) and they of course slide fore/aft

bk_911

Awesome! Stoked to see them.

Worth noting that this is $4298 for the pair (according to the website).

These look great! The Lwbs are awesome but the profis are way more supportive with a deeper bucket and between the profi, pp, and profi xl people can choose the best size for them.

Er... which car? You have dozens of GT cars!

311RS

Thanks for the positive feedback and the questions. I'll take a moment to reply to a few of these comments -

They do have cutouts for all 6 points of the harnesses. Install is straightforward and any Porsche shop would be able install them. We've had them in our 981 development car and can confirm fitment. It didn't appear to be much/if any tighter than our 991 GT3 dev unit and rubbing was only noted at the further most point forward in the sliders adjustment. A person would struggle to drive like that, however!

Wouldn't that be the day!

Thanks for coming by dude.

I think you will enjoy them, Steve.

Correct, and the OP has been revised to reflect this.

Totally. The LWB buckets are amazing but not quite a true bucket seat. The added lateral support of a true bucket is nice.

I'm happy to answer any further questions guys! -Ryan

To confirm, these are the fiberglass Recaro's right? These seats retail for roughly $1k each so your adding a custom seat cover for another $1k each to looks like. Does this $4300 include all hardware, sliders etc?

Where do the lap and sub belts attach to? The chassis or the seat adapter?

311RS

Correct - a standard Profi XL sells for $1,099 (+ shipping) from Recaro today. Seat mounts are sold separate from the seats for $750. Some folks are upgrading from other buckets, while others are putting them in older 911s which require a different mount all together. The hardware to mount the seat is however included.

If we use a BBi or Cantrell seat mount belts are then attached to the seat mount. Standard 3/4/5/6 belt slots in the Profi XLs allow the user to run harnesses however they wish, which is nice.

To be clear for those who are not familiar with these seats, Recaro has the sub belt slots situated neatly between the two bottom cushions.
