I have had 2 cars with the CGT seats, a 997 GT3 clubsport and now our 997 RS. They are the most comfortable seats ever! 2 weeks after buying the GT3 we drove 1000 miles over 2 days to the South of France, and arrived feeling fine.
The seats are relatively narrow and low; and because they have no height adjustment my 5'4" wife sits on a cushion to get a better view when she drives. I'm 6'1" and the seats give me a perfect driving position.
With the 6-point harness on you really do feel part of the car.

Next time you experience a bad landing in an airplane, there is a chance the pilot had his seat too high, there is some truth to it no kidding.

Do you have full leather or alcantara cushions?

Thanks, great feedback, I am more and more determined to get these seats. I can only imagine driving the car down to the Cote Azure will make anybody forget his behind and the associated pain there lol. Do you have to watch your car like a hawk to avoid having it stolen and or broken in? I remember on the Promenade des Angles in Nice I saw glass remains every 15 yards along the side walk.
We love driving through France; one of our best holidays was an organised tour to Cannes and back using as many backroads as possible. Only been to Nice airport so cannot comment on car crime there; but have often parked the GT3 or the RS in the harbour car park in St Tropez. Never had any trouble; just usually come back to the car with a crowd of Brits round it commenting on the fun we must have had driving down!
We've got the alcantara seats.

No pain associated with the seats; honest! Wife often falls asleep in the passenger seat if my driving isn't too "spirited"!

Off topic I know! French police now much keener to do you for speeding, especially on autoroutes; and especially in N France closer to the ports back to England.
Just uploading a video clip that I think you'll enjoy!
Strangely I am going to look into shipping our RS over to the States for a driving holiday. Would love to drive Laguna Seca. Ideally drive San Francisco to New York; just wondering how many interesting roads there are inbetween?

Please plan on driving your car from L.A. to S.F. and north to Oregon on HWY 1, it's a must.
They do house exchanges, how about car exchanges for the holidays?

If I would have GT2 seats I would be quite happy now but I don't, I have the regular GT3 seats with deviated stitching in yellow.
I have a friend in Germany who is possibly able to get me the Gt3 club sport (CGT) seats, will see. I will check them out first with Ubercar, he has them in a green RS.
I plan on holding on to my car and want to make it a Euro club sport version. After all my money has to spent before I hit the dust lol.

As promised! Driving through the Pyrenees National park on the holiday I mentioned before. The white GT3 was ours at the time; the lead orange RS is ours now!

Drove HWY 1 from S.F. down to L.A. about 10 years ago in a typical US hire car...like driving a water-bed! Lovely stretch of road.
