Default Where do I get replacement seat cushion foam for 996 GT3 seats?

Hi everyone,

After 110,000 miles, the seat cushion foam in my GT3 seats is dead. Does anyone know who I can buy replacement foam inserts from?

The leather is still fine and I'd just as soon get something already the right size that I can just slide in.

Thanks, ahead of time,
Steve

Euro seats. I put them in my Boxster S in 2001.

Then what moody said. You also might check with the harley dealer and ask about guys that make seats. i would bet you can get a better product for less money.

Thanks Roberga,

I was originally thinking of memory foam or something a little higher tech, but the stuff inside worked well for a long time, and I don't feel the need to be experimenting with it.

Thanks guys!

Got the seat bottom replacements from Suncoast and the back foam kit from Carnewal (and some other toys)!

All seem to work fine.

Thanks,
Steve
