Default My latest upgrade

I just installed these Recaro Pole Positions in my 993, which I had in my '92 previously. I really forgot what a difference they make.

Thanks Mark!

Looks Nice. I am looking to get some Recaro A8's or something similar to get a bit more lateral support, but still be able to let the kiddo's in the back.

I've never been one to move my seat on long trips, so the fixed position does not bother me. I've been in these seats for 12 hours a day in perfect comfort the entire time. Funny thing is that the longer I sit in them the more comfortable they seem to get. The support gives a completely different feel, feeling much more connected to the car.

No they don't. I looked into a tilting mechanism, but it would't help much anyway, since the seat sits so high. You would only be able to tilt it a couple inches before thse seat hit the headliner. I looked into this a long time ago, with no success.

I am short, so I use the mounting holes furthest forward, which allows the seat to be pushed enough forward that I can get people in the back seat (believe it or not).
