PERFORMANCE INFO:

these 996 GT3 seats weight approx. 13kg (28.6lbs) each, that's compared to a standard 997 sport seat at 22 kg = 48.4 lbs.
Note that even the very expensive GT2 seats made of carbon fiber are heavier at 16 kg (due to airbag and recline gear).
This is by FAR the best bang for your buck performance upgrade you can do to your car as it provides both weight reduction and increased control over and feel for your car. This will save you close to 50 lbs total in a 997 ! If you ever go to the track, this is a must-have. And they look killer !

I've gone ahead and measured the seats for shipping purposes:
23 W x 29 D x 37H (rounded up)
and weigh approx 29lbs each (rounded up)
Prolly a little larger after packaging (either in box or wrapped).

This is a set of Black cloth 996 GT3 seats. These easily replace your stock seats, and are perfect for around town or on the track. Significantly lighter than stock seats. No modifications are necessary, these use the existing mounting points. These are compatible with the factory racing harness sets as well as the standard 3-point seat belts. These come directly from Porsche, and are made by Recaro.

Fitment:
Boxster 986 (all versions) - 1997-2004
Boxster 987 (all versions) - 2005+ ***
Cayman (all versions) - 2005+ ***
Carrera 996 (all versions) - 1999-2004

*** Note: for models with Advanced Airbags (2006 or newer), the seat airbags & weight sensor will be disabled and the airbag warning light on your instrument cluster will be on. You may request your dealer to deactivated the warning light. It is at the dealer's discretion.
