Default Looking for Seats...

Anyone selling 996 Euro buckets or other excellent condition, quality(Recaro, OMP, etc.) track seats (non-XL fitment)? Non-halo.
Cash in hand for right deal
Or, anyone have suggestion for a good 'local' retailer of seats?

same here. can't find OEM gt3 seats, was thinking recaro pole positions. Though the rotec gt3 replicas are tempting and probably would do. I also like the sparko's that are also 15 lbs but they don't seem to come in leather which is a requirement for me. My car's got to still remain to look stock.

ya the Euro GT2 seats seem to be getting harder to find, and agree it would be nice to find something original looking, thought about the Pole Positions as well, always a great option. The Rotec replica's have had many issues so stay way clear of them...
One nice thing about buying new aftermarket seats is of course they are 100% perfect shape and also have the latest FIA safety standards...
Many choices...
Cheers,

What about Speed Merchants in Kanata ?
Jim could be pretty accomodating and usually has clearance sales every now and then ...

While selling a set of wheels to a guy(from Montreal), he mentioned he had the seats for sale.... Worked out well.
