Bill, I am 6-5 and have Profi XL currently. Previouly I had PP, the Profi XL has a taller back and larger openings for the shoulder harness. I don't have my DAS bar anymore, but with my Heigo bar everything is fine. I use BK seat mounts, can't remember the number but I can get it for you. With these mounts, slightly modified I could clear the headliner with my helmet on when I had a sunroof.
Forgive the # of questions, I want to do this right, once
I'm 6'1" but guess that legs are relatively long, 34" waist 34" inseam

Bill,
Unless you're going to mount your PPs quite high (which will put your helmet against the roof), I don't think the angles are going to work given your size.
Profi-XL would be the choice re. Hans/DAS geometry, but it depends on how snug a fit you're looking for. Have you considered Sparco? I think the EVO series has a seat fit that's between the PP and SPG-XL, and of course Sparco has been smart enough to use big belt holes .

I'm also 34 waist 34 inseam, I didn't have the DAS bar with the Profi XL's. The BK mounts will let you mount the seat about 1.5 inches lower than the Recaro mounts. I tried all the mounts available, seriously all of them, I can get the BK number for the mounts this weekend. You still have to modify them a bit to get the absolute lowest install, but it is worth the effort if you are tall and want to wear a helmet.

I am 5-10 and have a long torso. Profi XL's mounted to the stock location with no sliders work perfectly for headroom and proper belt alignment with the DAS bar. I found most seats with narrow belt openings positioned the slots below my shoulders. The large opening in the XL's solves the problem.

Hutch: Any other modification needed, other than notching the inside of the mounts? Are you using the holes in the BK brackets or do you have to drill holes of your own for best fit?
What sliders are you using? Although BK mounts work nicely with recaro sliders, I've heard that the Sparco sliders together with the BK mounts makes it possible to get the seat even lower...

Thanks to all!!
Looks like the BK#9062 side mounts are the way to go
Porsche manual seat sliders only latch on one side, T/F??
Recaro sliders latch on both sides T/F??
Mike, your interior is one of the best I've seen, that's where I'm headed w/ mine

2) Older ones, yes one side. Newer ones (996) both sides.
3) Yes. Personally I think they're crap.
