Just fitted GT3 seat wih RUF 2" longer

and 3/4 " lower brackets

First of all thks to Rockitman and ee996tt for their invaluable instructions, although if you are switching the brackets and have memory seats (you have to take the reverse mirror module with you) this is not a one hour job.

so ever since I have the Stradale, had to change the seats and only changed drivers seat to GT3 to accomodate the kids in the back occassionally.

I am 6'6 and so the Brey Krause seat mounting brackets alone weren't going to work as I need the legroom. With the Ruf mountings its absolutely fine, although the seat wing is touching the top seat belt dispensor ( I don't have a harness ). Driving the car is a totally new experience and I would say with the smaller Gemballa tiptronic wheel and Upsolute stage 2 (Europe), this is the best of many many mods.

I never liked the standard Turbo seat, in fact I think its an outrage to have 57 varieties and they are all franky CRAP !!

I concurr with the stock seat being a pain in the behind. Glad you found a seat that you liked though.
