Default 6-point harness & stock seats?

I'm ordering my car and intend to install a roll bar and 6 point harness. Are the stock seats (either 4-way or 18-way) compatible with the 6 point harness or should I count on buying new seats?

If new seats, then recommendations?

Thanks,

Deven

The stock seats aren't compatible with a harness. I know there are folks on here who have shopped the market recently and can provide suggestions for aftermarket seats.

Which ones? And after the initial install of the Recaros, is it practical to swap them for the OEM seats (i.e., use the OEM seats for DD and Recaros for track)?

Just my opinion but I don't consider routinely swapping seats practical. From experience in other Porsches they are heavy and awkward to get in and out. Maybe doing it once a "season" wouldn't be too bad. Then there is the airbag system. Stock seats have airbags, sensors etc. Even swapping porsche factory seats I got airbag lights requiring a trip to the dealer to reset. The best solution of course is factory sport bucket seats which aren't available in the US. Perhaps they will be at some point but nothing is confirmed yet.
