I purchased one of the five GT2 seat sets that Suncoast had for sale; I also purchase the Schroth 6-point GT3 harness and the Brey-Krause sub-bars to replaced a Recaro speed seat setup with RaceTech harnesses. The Recaro and RaceTech setup was reasonably priced and of acceptable quality, but the GT2 seats and Schroth harnesses are a world apart.

These were installed yesterday and everything fit, didn't require any special cutting or fitting - a very clean install. Suncoast was terrific to work with as well and the installation was as they advertised. And contrary to some reports, the seats plugged into my 2015 GT3 and with some programming the thorax air bags work.

Those look great in your car. I bought the 1st set of 5 this last go around. Installed them. sf rvrtything is good. Mrs sweeper and I are going for a couple hour ride to break them/us in.

I bought the Alcantara covers from Carnewal and will install them later this weekend. I will post my impressions of the covers after the install. They look great and match the Porsche Alcantara perfectly..

Take care

Thanks, I will look into the Carnewal Alcantara covers myself. I found that I needed to slightly reposition the insert in the backrest to improve the fit to my back, but otherwise the seats are very good.

I'm not sure what's more impressive: those seats or the fact you have 15K miles on your GT3. Well done, sir.

I believe Suncoast has more GT2 seats in stock; these seats fit perfectly in a 991 GT3 and your dealer can hook up the airbags so everything works.

I'd love to put these in my 991 GTS....I just wish I can justify the price. Such beautiful seats!

Considering they sell around $7k or so used these days I wouldn't be too worried, although when you pay $10k (or however much they are) on the spot it hurts your bottom
