Recaro Sportster CS seats

I considered them for my GT4 but that was so I could run at least a 4 point harness and have seats that would work for the kids.
Why do you want them for a TT? They look nice but I find the standard sport seats pretty good. I'm also sure you could find away around the airbag lights but you're losing side airbags too.

True. But I'm looking for weight savings plus a nice sporty look

Of those two factors I'd say look will be most noticeable. Plenty of ways to add more power to offset weight in the TT platform. Unless you're looking for a track car and in that case there are other ways to drop more weight and much lighter seats
My take, if you're putting a roll bar and harness in then it might be worth it, otherwise I'd look at Sport Buckets to keep a OEM look and airbags.

I have the CS in Alcantara and also did the steering wheel and some other interior parts in alcantara. The seats are incredible. Very supportive at the track and extremely comfortable in long drives to the track.

OK, so I'm taking back my comment. These look really nice in the 997tt (headed over to the other forum after a quick search). What did you do for the airbag relays?

I've had these seats in many of my cars and still have a set in one of my cars.
They are nice, but if you're going to be tracking I would suggest something else, these are not as bolstered as GT2 buckets either so keep that in mind.
You can code the airbags off.

These seats are cool for the street, for track, get something else.

If you ever venture out to Los Angeles you're more than welcome to sit in them and see for yourself!
Amazing street seats, for track they're just not the greatest.

Some go as far as to call it a 'deal braker' when a car doesn't have those.
Or a 'must have'
My first 997 turbo, that I bought new, had them. When ordering I believed all the hype. Soon I regretted them big time. Never felt comfortable in those seats.
The only sport seat for me is the GT2 but I got really lucky , I scored a set for cheap.

This is so true but unbelievable to me almost all rave about those crappy seats. Some go as far as to call it a 'deal braker' when a car doesn't have those.
