Default GT3 seat options

Anyone know if the bucket seats will be available soon from the dealer? If not what are any options to replace adaptive seats.

TIA

Not in the foreseeable future.

By the time they are available, we might be on the 992 generation of 911s.

As to other options, take your pick of aftermarket buckets (OMP, Sparco, Recaro, Sabelt, etc.), and which one fits your **** and hips the best. Just know that you will need a narrower seat so that there is no rubbing with the door panel.

And you lose the side impact air bags.

But you add the airbag light sensor. All the time!

I installed a Sparco EVO 2 on a GMG base, it is a very snug fit but works fine. I can take the seat in and out for track events in less than an hour.

Checked in with SunCoast and they are still to get the factory 918 bucket seats. Your best option right now would be Recaro or Sparco.

I would buy these. Cheaper than getting a new car.

Check this brand out. Lately they are the choice over Recaro and the rest of the competition.
