Track seat advice
#31
That Revosport GT2 c/f seat might even have been the one I saw. You relly do need to sit in them though and they weren't close to me.
The SPG XL install has been a real adventure 5mo. of headaches and frustration. I can see the light though

Not all!
I'd love to get a pair of SRD's for the '95. We're going to track it, but I've got to shuttle kids now and then. If anyone is thinking of "upgrading" from their older SRDs or a newer pair of Recaro Speeds, let me know.

964 Speedster seats?
Cost no issue, I'd appreciate your thoughts on another that may suit Chris, too: similar to RS - factory Speedster seats; if one has pre-purchase access to assure they fit well.
GT2 seats $5,400 USD on eBay (no affiliation)
GT2 seats $6,700 USD on eBay (no affiliation)

Great thread. I was considering Cobra Misano 'lux' w/ CF backs & embroidered "Porsche." IIRC: lightest w/ adjustable seatbacks.

I notice that they are a ~$3500 option on Cayman S

If you need folding seats then the Recaro Sportster CS is another option and is fairly reasonable, although you have to remove one of the reclining ***** for it to fit into a 993. Has a similar shape to the Pole Position and is a factory seat in a number of cars - Evora, RS4, Euro-spec GTi (I think).

I am interested in this thread, as well. I would like to put some better bolstered lighter seats in my car. I am 5'8", 165 lb, 31" waist, so I think most should fit me. Cost no object, I would look to GT2 or Misano seats, I think. I would like to keep leather and probably recline.

Will you be using a HANS? I find that my HANS rubs the back of the GT3 seats which makes me wonder if they are even hans compatible? Doesn't bother me enough to buy new seats though
I really liked my recaro pole positions but they the harness holes were too low for my shoulders.

From my experience this past winter big guys will have a real problem w/ aftermarket seats.
As I posted earlier there are a lot of little seemingly minor issues that all have to come into focus to make this work and there isn't a lot of wiggle room(no pun intended).

Yeah, not to keep singing the same old song, but it was a bear for me to find seats that fit both me and the car. I'm 6'4" with a 36" waist and broad shoulders (46L coat). The Evo 2 Plus was the only seat I found that fit me. I wouldn't have minded trying the A8, GT3 or GT2 seats, but they are much more expensive and I didn't have a chance to try any during my search. I was on a short schedule because the Sparco Roadster seats (FS by the way... I need to get an ad up) installed by the PO were painful.

I'm same size as Reddy 6'4" 220lbs. But over here the Heigo rollbars/cages are much more common. I have a friend who has Recaro PPs and Heigo rollbar and hes more like 6'7". I can test fit in his car prior to buying..
Does anybody know if the RUF seats are a nice option for combined street and track use?
