Easy bolt in and no hassles is hands down the GT3 seats with sliders. It takes no more than an 1 hour to switch. Personally I find the PP fit better (body doesn't like alien ears of GT3) but you gotta shop and buy all the pieces separately and even then, it doesn't work as nice as the GT3 setup.

they are same seats excpet the head rest portion.
once you buy all the sliders and brackets, you are at about same price.
GT3 seats come with everything and bolts right in.

The GT3 seats sit about 1 or 2 inches lower than the pole position seats; this is due to the mounting hardware. This is a concern for fitting in the car with a helmet.
Here's a good comparison...

Thanks for the feedback. They both fit my body really well so it was coming down to wether or not I thought the GT3 seats would be worth the additional $. The mounting hardware brings it close. Looks like I am going to go with those and should I decide to go down the route of buying full set up track car, I can switch back to stock and easily sell them.
thanks
thanks

the alum side bracket from recaro is quite a bit lighter than GT3 seat bracket. but still, we are talking 1-2 pounds.
