Seat options

OK had a GT3 seat for 2 years but it was too much for my back as a daily driver, love my Sparco Carbon Racing Seats in my Ferraris but everytime I get back into my OEM TT seat I think its far too soft, what's VERY LIGHT and COMFORTABLE but wider than a GT3 seat please ?

I just replaced my GT3 seats with Recarro Sportster CS leather/suede. They are sooo much more comfortable and recline. Before the GT3 seats I had the OEM Sports which were ok but not enought support. The Sportster CS seats are also a lot lighter than OEMs. If you need pics or more info let me know.....

Having just driven a 7GT2 today, I can't say enough about how great its seats are. And they're cheaper than the 7GT3Euro seats.

Oh dear Gert at Carnewal notes it doesn't fit a 996 TT as it is too wide at the base

I sat in the new GT2 seats at my dealer last week. Awesome seats! No recline. Not for everyday driving in my opinion as they take some effort to get in and out of them. They are hot though!
