I went for the comfy route, the seats have heat, cooling fan, air bladder adjustment, side adjustment and electric adjust. They are super comfortable and very supportive, thanks to RPM for an easy buying & install.
Weird thing is these seats match the rest of the interior better then the stocks seat, strange huh?
I'm sure most of you guys will hate the seats, I found the GT3 and race style seats very uncomfortable.







Lowered it with PSS9's while at it.

Funny ... they have some Benz styling to them. I'm not sure I like them ... they seem to be "thick" ... like some Bentley seats would be ... but they do look better than Dumbo GT3 seats! They must be more comfy for sure.
The exterior looks amazing too. Love the TechArts ...

My 2001 Jaguar XKR had those exact same recaro seats. They are comfy.... Way better than the stock 996s...

Not really, I've already have had it painted three times, I'm going back to the original UNPAINTED front lip, I give up.

I have my PSS9's set at the firmest setting, the new seats really help offset the suspension settings, kind of like having the best of both worlds, a great handling car that is still fairly comforatable, I love these seats!!
