Look very carefully at where the openings for shoulder harness are relative to your shoulders. For me the openings in the pole position are too low, the belts go through the seat then UP over my shoulders. Very bad arrangement.

thanks guys! yea I am fairly short about 5' 7" so the openings for the harnesses are in a good location

speedware has the parts. beware, the seat will be very low if you get the regular recaro tracks.

I am 5'10" and had Recaro SRDs in my 944 and found the regular recaro tracks too low for driving around town. I bought the height adjustable tracks which are the same $ and also got the adapter plate (made by wedge sold by all). it is a flat plate that screws to the floor with four tabs bent up. the recaro track goes into that. you can cut one of the holes off the track to get it lower, etc.

Another data point...

I had to mount my seat directly to the floor of my car in order to get enough head room with my helmet on. I'm around 5'11", but all torso.

If you want that Recaro PP on rails to slide back and forth, you're going to have quite a bit of stack height, as you need the recaro side plates + the recaro sliders. That will lift the seat almost 1" off the floor. Also, you'll need to make a mounting provision for the inner stock seat belt receptacle...

Tom R.

my bad. I forogot that the PPs are side mount and SRDs are bottom mount. You can adjust the height of a side mount.

The key to this is having properly designed side mounts. My friend who is over 6ft can fit in my driver's side profi SPG with a helmet on, and it's on sliders.

I don't see why? Maybe later cars are different, but on my 83, the inner seatbelt latch is at an easily accessible height, with no extensions.

early cars had the female part mounted to the torque tube tunnel. 85.5 and later cars had the female part mounted to the seat.

Ok that makes perfect sense then.
