I don't think LWB's are a good choice for a daily driver. I have them in my 981 Spyder and their lack of adjust-ability makes them markedly less comfortable plus the extreme bolstering makes entrance and exit a bit of a pain.

The 18 way's in my GT3 were the right call for daily use and still clearly fit tight enough for occasional track use.

Yes, my 2010 non-RS GT3 had the upgraded adjustable seats. I love the bucket seats in my RS and have driven the car from So Cal to Vegas a few times and the ride was comfortable. I'm not planning to daily the 991 GT3 or even take it to track, I just prefer bucket seats. I've heard that the 991 GT3 bucket seats are even more comfortable than the 997 GT3 bucket seats.

My value for the LWB seats is $10k-$15k (that's probably what they'll cost to get 2nd hand) so I'm not going to insult the OP with an offer with that kind of discount. Just like I won't make offers on cars with PCCB brakes...they have negative value to me.

My RS is a weekend car that I drive almost every weekend...90% street and 10% track and I wouldn't track my bucket seats for anything.

The original poster is just trying to sell his car guys. I am sure he never envisioned all this when he posted it. Wow. He can't change a car that has already been delivered, and why should he have to say anything more than the fact its for sale? He has a great car and it will sell quick. To the OP-----again very nice ride.

I just finished a 7 hour trip in my seat and loved it. Got out only once. Of course I have not grown up yet. 5'8' and 140lbs Seats are really good for someone my size.

Personally, for me the 991 GT3 LWB are comfortable, and certainly more than comfortable enough for daily commutes.

My issue with the LWBs vis-a-vis using the GT3 as a daily driver is getting in and out of the car (and seat). It's not exactly a simple task, which is further compounded by how low the car sits to begin with.

But all of that said, the 991 GT3 LWBs are in fact quite comfortable when you're actually sitting in them, and as someone else mentioned more comfortable than the 7.2 buckets.

I had LWB seats in my last 997 TT. the fit was fine but I find that the LWB in the 991 better for fit and comfort. The 997 (acutally GT2 seats) were more difficult to get in and out of than the 991 LWB seats. I think the sides of the 991 seats may be slightly lower or at least tappered more to the front. I find if I "stiff-arm" my left hand on the door sill and piviot on that straight arm getting in and out it is a breeze getting in and out of the car. Not nearly as difficult as in the 997! I dont think that entry and exit in the 991 LWB is an issue at all. I am 5'10" and 180 lbs, but at 66 year of age not willing to put up with agravating things like seats I cant get into easily. By the way I have tried the 918 seats and they are more difficult, I guess because you have to get over a wider sill and they seem to sit farther down inside the car??

One comfort issue I do have is I think on a long trip the seat bottom may not be padded enough for me, I had this problem in the 997 and it feels the same. Techart makes a replacement cushion for the seat bottom and I will be putting that in my seats ASAP.

Thank you for the kind words. Just like you all, I pondered many nights about the configurations. With that said, I still don't think I would have change it to LWB. We all use our car differently and 18 ways seats were perfect for my needs.
I'm not too worry about the car selling. I know that it's a great car with a fair price. I just search on autotrader and I was a lowest 2015 car (plus I'm including SW bypass). Heck, I should increase my asking a little.... Thank you all again.

I just checked, the 18 way DO have side airbags. I learned something new.

All the seats offered by factory on GT3 have airbag build into side of seats.

Here are a few quick pictures I took today. Hopefully this will help all those who are still on the fence
