i can't imagine that EVERY LWB owner, from gt4 to spyder to RS to 918 wouldn't order these. genius solution. These seats are almost unusable with a helmet.. pushes head so far forward.. and quite upright without a helmet. I have also struggled to get my lower back flush against the seat bottom.. i always thought "if only i could have a little bit more recline and a little bit more support under my thighs.. BINGO! great work.

Thank you very much for the kind words Alexio! They are quite the bang for the buck mod to the driving experience to say the least : )

Just got mine in the mail. I have not got them installed yet, but I can say that the customer service from these guys have been outstanding...especially seeing how they have just suffered through a natural disaster.

Why thank you : ) It has certainly been a little bit of a struggle, but we try our best haha. Let us know your thoughts once you put them in : )

Also, for those with GT4's or if you know someone with one...we just released our shorter final drive ratio to take care of that long gearing once and for all! : )

I just had these installed. Worth every single penny.

Car should have come from the factory like this!

Just wondering, will these work with CGT fixed back seats on the 997s?

Just had them installed and drove the car home. The seat position is now perfect, fantastic solution!

For those of you "having them installed" rather than do it yourself, what type of shop are you taking them to? Porsche dealer, independent Porsche specialist, race shop or other. On one hand I imagine it's pretty simple and straightforward and pretty much any mechanic with a tool set could handle it, but on the other hand I'd prefer someone already familiar with how Porsche buckets are attached, and who is appreciative of their value. Don't want my brand new baby getting scratched up in the process!

Also curious what shops might be charging for this install. Any feedback appreciated.

dealer, one hour to remove both seats, install parts to both seats and reattach seats, not one mark, imo well worth it. Tech was impressed with the part and the change in seating position.

Unfortunately not, the 997 and older generation seats have different mounting equipment that's not compatible with our adjusters. Luckily they aren't as upright as the newer generation seats. If I find a solution for your seats i'll be sure to let you know.

That's quick! Most shops are at an hour per seat, your guys were cookin' Kim haha. Nice to hear the techs liked the parts and the improvement as well. One of these days if you record runs be sure to send it my way, I'd love to see an RS in action at an autocross event
