I didn't realize the soft back seats were ever offered from the factory on a 993. I've only seen the hardback ones stock. Were they a custom order or only available the first year during the transition from the 964?
The 964 sport seats are my favorite Porsche seats. I'd like to get a pair for my '96 993, and just wondering if that was something that could have been ordered from the factory in '96 instead of the hard backs (which I don't find nearly as comfortable).

The seatback sides look very deep, why is this?

That would be $6,000,; you got fooled by the .99 trick

There are other companies that do that conversion, unfortunately re-welding and touching a sport seat frame is in my not to do list, I only use OEM 964 sport seats which have the same frame as the soft back sport seats.

For those who have pm, I have sent proper response, I have been quite busy with 964/993 seats and as I shared with you guys the problem is the scarcity of 964 oem sport seats and the outrageous prices they are asking, I just completed a few seats for Garrity at Motorsports Utah, also some for Jimmy at JS Independent Porsche in Daily City, and I'm doing a singer style for one of our fellow 930 listers. I have been sourcing seats from UK, but shipping and the Euro conversion to dollars is not friendly on any savings. I'll keep you posted. Here are some pictures of a interior work for one of our fellow listers, door panel, center console, dash trim and rear seats, pictures are before and after all in NAPPA leather.
