Question Possibility of moving seats further back

I would first like to say I am an estatic tt owner and new to the 993tt forum.
Being a long time Porsche sicko, I have wanted a tt since the May '95 issue of Pano. For evidence, I submit the fact that I bot my first 911 before owning a house, saying to my wife, "But honey, we can sleep in the car, but we cannot drive a house"
Anyway, I would appreciate any help in the area of extending the leg room available in my 993.
I have the factory sport seats and of course wud prefer to disturb the car as little as possible.
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

In a prior Porsche I took out the powered seats and bought smaller lower Recaros (I cannot remember the model) and drilled the rails so the seats would go farther back. It's not that I needed it (5'9") but you get lots more room for the extra activities. And, you can bolt back your untouched factory seats, anytime.

I think the seat rails can be moved, but I don't recall if it is further back or forward.

As delivered, the seat rails are in the forward most holes. You can gain about 3/4" by moving them to the rear holes.
