I don't have the RSA anymore, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to provide the measurements. The BMW and Porsche have a very different seating position. The Porsche is more upright, so comparing those two is not a very good way to determine whether a seat will be a good fit for you.

The problem I have the with the GT3 seats (aside from aesthetics) is that those huge holes might actually be dangerous in an accident because they would allow your body move more than the smaller holes in a PP seat would. This is just based on personal observation, I haven't had a chance to test the theory nor am I planning to. I could be completely off base here.

They look like GT3 seats to me. You might want to ask the seller to take pictures of any part # or other labels on the shell anywhere.

I'm not a seat expert, but I've owned at set of these and had them in a 993 I owned a few years ago. They are definitely a compromise seat. In all honesty, they aren't comfortable for street use. No where near as comfortable as the stock seat. That seems obvious but it's worth emphasizing. They are a compromise track seat as well. Leather in a track car is not optimal. There are reasons "real" race seats are cloth. I have Sparco seats in my 911 and REALLY comfortable leather seats in my Boxster.

Re price ... I sold mine for $2000. But that was 4-5 years ago.

Good luck.

They look real to me, although the leather near the harness holes is a lot looser than what I''ve seen (or what I had with my old GT3 seats).

Here's what you want:

Also remember that if you're so tall that your shoulders are well above the harness holes, that's no good either.

Thank you all for your help.

Eric: re: the harness holes, if the shoulder clearance was fine in an M3, it should be fine in the 993 as well, right (i.e. seat angle should not affect that).

Since I will be purchasing the seats this year and the roll bar / harnesses in the following, I guess there is no danger in buying the PPs. Only problem is that I may have to replace them once I install the rest.

I presume Pole Positions with the 3-point belts are at least as safe as the stock seats with the 3-point...right?

TheOtherEric

Yeah, obviously. But remember you also need the strap angle to be 0 to 20 degrees, so if you're so tall that you mount the seat super low, maybe the strap angle might be like -10 degrees? That's probably the only issue now, since you've established that your shoulders don't extend up higher than the harness holes. I'd be surprised if you could get a negative strap angle, but I don't really know the basis of this belief that 6' people can't use the PP so it's hard to rebut it.

It looks like there's a bit of damage visible in the 2nd picture. An inch to the left of harness hole.
