I have had four different seats in my 993 cab and turbo. The first seats were unheated stand 8 way power seats. Nice, but I wanted heat. Next seats were 8 way power seats with heat (& I went from blue to black). The heat was a big thing for me due to a sore back. No difference between these two as far as comfort. Next I got the hardback heated sports seats. They are a little narrower than the standard seats and there is a little different feel with a little addition side support. However, IMHO they do not offer the support one would want for the track. Again IMHO, they are a cosmetic improvement only. When I bought the turbo it had 12 way heated power seats with lumbar support. I drove the car 1500 miles in 22 hours from Texas to California where I bought it. The heat and lumbar support made the drive so nice. I kept the sports seats when I sold the cab with the intention of putting them in the cab. But that lumbar and my bad back had me reconsidering my choice. In the end I went with looks over comfort. Most of the drives in the turbo won't be so long that the lumbar support will be an issue. And the looks of the sports seats is enough to demand that they had to be put in the turbo.

Bob-- ^^ Beauty!
P.S. I got your PM (& Jim for Chris) - thanks. I'll call when the photographer gives me a location & specifics. Look forward to seeing all 3 of you + your fine 993s soon.
Dog-- Recaro OEM Speedster seats.
Performance: light weight, sport buckets, perfect grip for me.
Comfort: enthusiasts typically love the feel, support, & fixed backs. The bolsters catch others by surprise.
Their 'trampoline' cushions are said to give more comfort over "RS" OEM Recaro buckets, which are otherwise very similar.

No affiliation, just a sickness for posting 993-related pix & rarities that might aid others (pseudo thread hijack over soon, I promise
).

Originally advertised by RLer Group911@aol.com (Bob) for $6,500 USD, these picture-perfect seats are some of the most-revered
on RL, & for good reason. Featured in RLer dromicnorris (Mark Norris)'s 993, recently brought home to the happy garage of CorrdoBrit. Congratulations!

I've never sat in them, but otherwise respect for the looks, light weight, & adjustability of the Cobra Misano 'Lux' edition. IIRC, this RLer ordered his directly from Misano with "Porsche" embroidered on the seat.
