Personally, I'm content with just the stock belts; I'm sure I'm moving around, but I never notice it.

Regarding preventing sliding around in a seat, I recommend a torso harness. It loops around your torso, underneath your armpits and around the back of the seat. Quite effective in keeping your upper body in place.
It's available at Racerwholesale.com. (Look for G-Force autocross torso harness)
-Zoltan.

If you're not racing with the SCCA, consider the low cost torso harness solution -- a pair of belts (the kind that holds your pants up) fastened together.

I think the sticky bit is that the M030 rear shocks come with helper springs that aren't present on the base shocks.
M030 Rear Shocks and Springs
So it's not just that the make of shock is changing, I'd be adding an additional suspension element.

Just get out there and have a good time with your car AS-IS! Right now, your car is better than you so concentrate on catching up with the help of your fellow Porsche drivers. After you stawrt to get the feel of things, you will want to do mods to inch ever so closer to the class leaders. Most of all, HAVE FUN!! Let me know if you have any questions.

Dave_D,
I'm in Incline also. My wife and I will be going to the PCA autocross in Stead the 15th and 16th.
This will be our first also.
I think lots of fun and low expectation on lap time is the order of the day.
Hope to meet you there.

We'll look for you! My wife & I are in an Arctic White 996 cab.
BTW, we went to the SCCA newbie/school day a couple weeks back and the weather was dismal. Mt. Rose was closed by snow and Donner summit was gettin' hammered -- maybe 50' visibility -- scary in PZeros. Needless to say, we were late. Had fun, even if things were a bit slippery.
