Another question do they slide forward so people can get in the back?

I bought a used set of sportster CS- I had custom covers made from AMX Performance in Poland in sand beige. They actually make just the covers and have a program to send direct to you, just the covers, This is what I did and recovered them myself. They will do the whole thing for you. I thought it was just more economical to get a set used since I am putting new covers on. Saved about $1000 there. Plus shipping covers during WW3 from the front is cheaper than whole seats (it was still expensive IMO lol)


These are Sparco Plates, NRG Sliders, Master-Carr 10.8 hardware, AMX covers and Recaro Sporster CS, Cantrell Motorsport low profile *****- I cut 3mm off the **** spindle to give the seat enough room to slide the whole way back. The OEM recaro **** still fits/works with only 3mm taken off.

I think they are perfect. Recaro Sporster CS do need to have the low profile reclining **** or I honestly don't think they fit properly in a 997 (with the bulky standard recaro ****). With the low profile **** you can get them fully back to where they need to be. I am almost 6'5" and I fit great in them.

Yea they are on sliders, go forward and back and the seats are adjustable recline as well as fully tilt forward like stock.

Thanks, is there a pull tab or release like standard or do you need to do it manually?

Seats are looking epic.

There is a bar you pull up on just under the seat and you slide it forward/backward as you wish.

Replaced the spark plugs this weekend. Looked pretty good for 50k. Was surprised to find a mouse nest in the plastic webbing holding the passenger muffler heat shield.

Had the mufflers off so decided to buff them out. All stainless with the PSE system. Looks nice but only get to see it once and a while. I know it's there🙂

Nice. Try Sharkhide metal polish with a Mother's foam polishing cone on a drill
