Default Need advice on LWB seats

I have the sofas in my '14 and need to upgrade. I keep checking with Suncoast Parts about OEM LWB's and they tell me no ETA yet. I really do not want after market racing seats and want to wait for the real deal. Have any of you put in 5 or 6 harness brackets etc. for your sofas?

Sorry to tell that is not possible. You can retrofit the gt2 bucket seats, though. That is your next best option

Thanks Joe, I checked on this and all the bag connections don't work according to Suncoast.

That is the official word. The unofficial word is that the driver side is plug and play. On the passenger side you need to buy a seat occupancy detector to plug into the harness because the gt2 detector doesn't work. You can buy them off of eBay for about $40

To the extent anyone is interested, I have new in the box, stock Porsche folding LWB seats from the Porsche 991 GT3 ClubSport package. I was trying to build the 991 GT3 ClubSport package on my North American GT3 when my allocation of a GT3 RS came up. These are stock from Porsche and are truly plug and play for the 991 (errors when seats plug in). Please PM if interested.

To be clear, I mean NO errors when seats plugged into wiring harness.
