Not necessarily. I'm a thick guy and I fit fine. Definitely try them out if you have any question. I did and I'm glad I got them. My wife and I drove cross-country in them with no issues (back pain, etc.).

Default back aches

I am a 33 year old with slim build, as is my wife, and we love the adaptive sport seats in our 07 C2S. We test drove a meteor gray C4S launch car for about 30 minutes and we could not tolerate the discomfort--IMHO, the sport bucket seats do not compare to the adaptives. Just my two cents.

I've never been in an adaptive seat though I can imagine ther're pretty neat. If the Sport Buckets don't work, they'll be for sale...either way, the Launch PDK Coupe is killer equipped at a great price...hard to pass up...

How are you mounting the lap belts? to the seats or the floor pan? I would trust that the shoulder harnesses are mounted to either a harness bar and or a roll bar Thanks

I'm leaving this up to my Porsche race shop to figure out. Safety is key, so I'm guessing they may bolt through connection points for the subs and laps. The shoulders will be connected to a Porsche OEM bar in my car.
