From LA964RS' "Looking for RS/Speedster Seats" thread:
Although they appear the same, the Speedster and the RS seat are NOT identical; the RS seat is prepped for a 6 point harness' crotch belt to pass to the floor.
Note the red circled parts of the two seats below. The Speedster has a rubber trampoline like piece that the main seat pad goes over. This trampoline cannot be cut to pass a harness through. The RS seat on the other hand has a foam pad under the main seat pad which has a hole cut in it to pass the crotch belt. This pad can be installed in a Speedster seat and the bucket can be cut to accomplish installation of a crotch belt.
Also note that the SPG Recaro is about an inch narrower at the hip than the Speedster or RS seat and the Pole position is about an inch wider at the hip than the Speedster or RS seat.

Visual aid of the RS pad from the above diagram, on Pelican Part Forum's "F/S : RARE PORSCHE (euro) 1992 Carrera RS leather buckets" thread:
There is no suspension system on the RS seat.. there is a very thin ( 1" thick )velcroed in cushion that can be left in or removed, but nothing that looks like a suspension. That must be the difference in the two seats.

Related RS seat photo, from Pelican Parts Forum's "WTS: 964 Speedster (or RS?) Seats" thread:
They are RS seats.
Speedster seats had a sping suspension sytem in the bottoms and didn't have the fifth belt hole.
When I bought these from Bruce Anderson, he told me they were 964 Speedster seats.

IMHO, used OEM Speedstser & RS seats start up to twice that each, depending upon condition, & go up to $8,500, for the set FS & mentioned on this thread's first page.
More pix there. No affiliation.
RLer PorscheFan's RS seats FS on "Recaro Speedster style seats" thread: $8,500 + shipping. 858/454-9898 (9am-9pm PST). No affiliation.

^^ Damian-- Good tip!
Last post (for now) regarding OEM RS & Speedster seats compared to Pole Positions, etc., from an admitted OEM Speedster & RS seats addict.
[I've saved hyperlinks from webpages for years on these. I have enough photographs for their own thread.]
Weights, from the 964 Forum's "Bucket Seats - RS / Speedster" thread:
The RS seat weighs in at 30.5 pounds each including the mounting hardware.
Normal C2 seats weigh in at 52.5 pounds each, I think the RSA seats, being a sports seat are slightly heavier. So saving in the 22 to 25 pound per seat range, figure 50 pounds for the car.
The Recaro Pole, RS/Speedster and Recaro SPG are different in width by about an inch between each seat the Pole wider than RS which is wider than the SPG.

With my back troubles, there's no WAY I would ever sell my sport seats. Dayum those babies were MADE for me! 
So were those cup wheels, but that's a whole other story.

As a mod, I can view posts deleted by either the user or another mod or admin. Shame on you, Rich. Your words are very unbecoming. I hope that booze was worth your vacation. And my '*****' happens to be the love of my life, next to my HUSBAND. Yeah, you were spewing filth to a FEMALE that actually owns a beloved 993. Your threats are useless (that PM you sent). In fact, it was amusing. I will not insult you publicly, but be warned; mod or not, when you insult me in a PM, you're gonna get it right back.
Okay . . . back to these beautiful seats! I suppose after all this drama I should take a pic of mine. Later, though. I'm enjoying the free fireworks show on our patio. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!!!
