Hey AJ Glad to hear that the seats feel alright once you've been in for awhile I guess. I've just bought a low mileage Launch C4S (deals were just too good to ignore) but won't have it shipped here for another week or two. Also was checking in to see about switching the seats out even though I had sat in one for a few minutes that felt OK. Sounds like we could br OK. They definitely look good. Hugh

If anyone is interested The Porsche Center in San Antonio has a light gray C4S launch car still new with 6 speed manual and black sport bucket seats.

Thanks I have not been able to closely exam the seat, just wanted my wife to sit in one and be happy so it could be ordered with them.

FWIW, those seats are excellent. I've had my launch car for a while now and my wife and I even drove cross-country to California with them. They were supremely comfortable and supportive. I recommend them highly.

Chris..as I recall it was your story about the cross country journey in the SB seats that convinced me these would be very "livable" in a DD car. Thanks for chiming in as I'm very happy with the seats and car.

I'll check them out this week...the seats in my Cayenne are too wide without supporting the lower back despite the lumbar adjustment. I'm curious as to the "fit" for my 6'2" 195lb butt.

I'm way more brick-shaped than you and I fit great... I think you'll be pleased.

How is the lower back support in these seats?...lumbar area...My Cayenne seatbottoms drop down at the backrest so despite the lumbar at max, and with the baskrest tilter forward, ...it misses the mark...sorta like a sofa seat cushion sinking away from the back cushion when you sit on it.
