Someone asked me what the difference was between 993 sport seats and 996 sport seats. Anyone know the answer?
Here are photos of my 996 seats (out of a GT3).

Other than that, the only modification was the wiring harness.

They look almost identical, except for the pattern:

FWIW, I tried out a set of 996 sport seats in my 993C2 and found my standard 993 seats suited me better.A) The 996 seats were lower in the car, and I'm sorta short at 5'7". B) I liked the power height adj on the 993 seats better than the spring thing that the 996 seat uses. C) Overall,The 993 seats seem better built and didn't really seem that much heaver, although I didn't weigh them.
Finally I figured that while my friend was gonna give me a killer deal on the seats, If I was gonna change out the seats I would rather have a more purpose style seat, like Euro GT3's, or Recaro's.
YMMV & Just my 2cents.

After driving a few months with the 996 seats, I've noticed that the leather is nicer than the standard 993 seats and they seem to hold you in place better (more support?).
