Do you have a drawing with the sizes?
Recaro PP are too small for me, specially the height of the seatbelt holes is too low.
I do fit in SPG XL, but don't like the shape.

Can I suggest you find yourself a genuine 964RS, 993RS or Speedster with the original seats and try it out for size?
My hunch it that you will find these a little small as well, but it's worth a shot just in case. Keep in mind that most RS seats have the additional comfort cushion under the base cushions, so remove these before testing. Note that the Speedster seat has base trampolines which are not removable.

Received some great news today that the 9mRS seat with 9m billet side mounts have both passed the FIA sled testing procedure.
For the record, the tests are:
1. 20g forward sled test impact
2. 15g side impact
3. 10g rear impact

I will be hopefully posting photos of a pair of trimmed seats early next week, then soon after a price breakdown with options and be ready to take orders.

Here are the black anodised version of the 9m billet seat mounts which we used for testing:

A few times now I've seen photos of replica Porsche GT3 seats failing in low-speed fender benders. So that is BEYOND spectacular! Hell, just the fact that you even bothered to sled test them!
