Default Carrera GT seat recommendation

Short version:
While driving my 08 GT3 RS - myself and a passenger went through a 90º right spin, followed by a 180º left spin followed by a 90º right spin - back to straight. Car is fine - may need new rear cup tires though. Alot of arm work on this one.

Bottom line - we didn't move in these seats. We both stayed planted and didn't slide sideways. I know they are alot of money to buy - but I will never take these out and put back my factory adaptive sports seats. Even though I don't have air bags in the GT seats. Great seats to get for street and especially track.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!

The backrest of GT2 seats tilt for access to the back area, but they do not recline.
