Default Price on GT3 Seats?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of leather GT3 seats, is 1375 each a decent deal? Anybody think they are comfy>? I'm gonna do a cross country trip, should I just leave my stock seats in for the drive?

Thanks-

COleman.

I'm assuming these are the normal GRP ones and not the CF ones? If they include the rails and mounts that's a fair price...the cheapest I've seen the GRP version is $1200/each.

Factory Recaro GT3 bucket seats just went up in price. List is about $1600 a seat including 996 rails if you buy the 964/993 version you are looking at $1900 a seat. I believe Park Ave motors is having a sale on the 996 version. If you buy the 996 version and are tall you will need the Brey Krause adapters. These run about $160 each seat and if you want harnesses there is an additional harness bar for around $100 per seat.

I think they are OK for track and short drives but wouldn't want to drive cross country in them. I have them in my C2 and I just purchased a set of Recaro Sportster CS seats for my turbo, now that is a comfortable seat.

At the Hershey Park swap meet a couple of weeks ago, CDOC had them on special for $900 each.

How can that be that is below cost. Did this include the rails?

Anthony, I'm feeling the Recaro Sportster CS Hybrid Sport Seats! They have the agressive look of the GT3's but can recline! Sweet! Okay, where to get a good price on those? how tough to install in a 993, or your turbo?

I went for Recaro Toplines - they are amazingly comfortable.
