well
having tried them both,I wouldn't say they are less supportive.
What do you mean with that?
In my opinion the confort is less,but the lateral support is way more.
They are overpriced because there aren't many of them,this make the hunt for some very difficult....very difficult
still imho it's a must for every high spec car,like recaro for RS and GT2's

Had a trackday today and someone came over and offered a trade, my softbacks for his hardbacks! Getting a bit spooky all these hardbacks coming my way hahaha
I did not expect so many votes for the softbacks, makes me appreciate them even more. Just for fun I am going to install them and take some good pictures for possible future sale. When I decide to sell them I will put them up here first.

I also seem to think that every succesive generation of "sport seat" has gottten less "sporty". 996 sport seats weren't as aggressively bolstered as the 993 hardbacks, 997s flatter still, and the latest 991 versions make me wonder why you'd bother.
To the OP, keep those beautiful blue softbacks right where they belong in the car. Hold the hardbacks and sell them on when you need the room or get another 993 (hint hint).

The "softbacks" are, IMHO, the best seat ever made by Porsche. Although I'll respectfully disagree on the hardbacks being uncomfortable (comfort, sound, looks etc. are all subjective), I think they are more show than go. Both my 993s have the hardbacks as they have from new.

, it had the hardback sport seats and I don't think they were as good as the 993 sport version, maybe about on par with current standard seats.
