What seats do you have in your 996tt?
#46
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm looking for some opinions from some members with actual experience in these seats. I'm debating between going with Recaro Sportsters or Cobra Misano 30th anniversary. I haven't been able to find anywhere relatively near me that retails either, so I've yet to see either in person. I'm essentially looking for something to keep me in place better than my stock sport seats, as well as update/improve the interior aesthetically. My concern with the Cobras is that the will look too bulky and thick, although that CF back does look incredible. On the other hand, the Sporters don't appear to be that aggressive, although most people that have them seem to love them.
Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and pay the price of a used Honda Civic for some GT2's, haha.

DSCOFF, those look great, I'm going to have to check those out. I know what I'll be doing the rest of the day, haha.
ccjimmyb, those look amazing with your roll cage in the back! Do you drive your turbo on a regular basis or just the track? Mine isn't my daily driver, but I do drive it a few times a week, and I want something that will be comfortable over extended periods of time.

I'm a lot heavier than I look...I train weights 4-5x times per week...I'm 6'2" and 250lbs (not much fat). Most people guess I'm 215-220 lbs.
Anyhow, the recaro's were tight on my hips and shoulders. I could fit but it was very snug. Getting in and out of the car was too uncomfortable for a street driver. For longer drives, the hunched-forward shoulder position got uncomfortable.

I'd post up a local/regional request to see if anyone has those seats close to you. Go sit in them to be sure.
Then again, if I was just tracking my car, I would have kept the Recaro's. Once in the car, I felt planted. For the track, comfort is a tad less important.
