I don't really care about the hight adjust. Lower is better!

If the GT2 seats fit in the 2018 car, I'm pretty sure I'd do the switch. If not, I wonder if I couldn't order the Euro folding seats for the 2018 from a dealer in Europe (and the half cage) and have them shipped here. Then sell fixed buckets to another 991 GT3 owner. There should be a decent market for those.

I agree 100%, lower is better as i'm 6,2". I meant merely from a compatibility standpoint assuming one might have to use the seat rails from a 991? I remember reading something a while back that said gt2 seats were incompatible in the 991 and the newer folders were developed for the 991. not the same???

I'm sure you could order them, maybe someone can reach out to Gert from Carnewal being in Europe and avoiding the dealers alltogther. I ordered a whole 911R drivetrain, sure we could get these past.

As mentioned - move one seat as far forward as it will go. Also helps to move it as far up (toward the roof) as it will go.
Thanks Dr.Bill!

If I recall correctly European cars that have the Clubsport pack have a reinforced chassis ! Don't know if it is wise to put the clubsport pack in a non reinforced car ?
