Schroth through Austin at TRG or straight from the US distributor HMS.

Seats, good luck. Very pricey and hard to find since they aren't readily stocked in the US. I think Bob (ViperBob) mentioned recently that he had a few sets left? As for fleabay you have to be careful, alot of copies have popped up.

I bought my factory sub mounts from Sunset Porsche (best price).

Suncoast, check ebay they have multiple set for 2599$ in black. Sub brace should be around 150$ to 200$ for both (carnewal sells them for 100 euro for both). As for harness, LVDell should be able to tell you since he just bought a set not too long ago.

Damn Dell I was just talking about you......

I bought my harnesses from TRG and they were drop shipped from HMS...go figure. IIRC they were $285 for the Profi II-6. Same price though both places. I bought my sub mounts (oem) from Sunset for $50/ea for my wife's car and for mine (just one seat) and the BK sub mount with the fire extinguisher mount attachemnt from CDOC.

Recently bought a couple of black leather GT3 seats and sub mount bar from Suncoast.
GT3 seats - $1295 ea; sub bar - $55 each.

What is GMC racing half bar? Do you mean GMG Cup harness/bar? That's the one I've decided to go with now. Liked the DAS but decided I didn't want to cut into the rear deck lid or have additional expense of a custom made lid to save the OE lid.

Mooty, the GMG Cup roll bar (they call it harness/roll bar) -here- is a beefed up TE bar with an extra cross brace for better rigidity/role protection. I think the DAS bar is a bit beefier but the GMG bar should be a step up from the TE bar. Do you not think that is sufficient for DE? I'm not planning on doing club racing.

I think we need to clarify which GT3 seats - 996 GT# seats or Euro CGT shells?

One thing about the Porsche substrap mounts, they only are there to mount the substrap. I can not tell you how many of these I have had to remove from cars when someone wants a fire extinguisher installed. The Brey Krause substrap bar is designed to later attach their FE mount. This only takes 15 minutes later, instead of rebuilding the seat again.
