No crazy questions.
5 or six point is required in many track events (that I attend anyway)......proper routing that sub belt(s) is prefered.

 

Thanks... I appreciate it...

 

I've had good luck with sparco. they even offer carbon buckets.

if you want a bucket seat (non adjustable) look at the pro2000, evo (different sized evo seats), and if you have the cash the S-Light.

also look at omp.

911 are a funny shape inside, so make sure the seat you get isn't too wide to fit in there.

I know this because we did a set of sparco milanos in a 996tt and it a lot of modifcation to make them fit correctly where the customer could still adjust the seat. after that they fit great and they look great as well.

 

And that's why we are on a Porsche board asking about seats for a 911
Input is appreciated but...."making sure the seat you get isn't too wide to fit in there"....really doesn't help me.

OK.....after I buy a few seats and try to get em to mount and fit......I'll report back.

 

just saying you need to make sure the seat you like fits (ask the store selling or people who have installed them), because not all of them do.

 

Sounds like having a short-list of aftermarket seats that are known 'easy installs' to the 996 cabin............might be 'handy' .

 

While i can't really comment on the 993, i have used sparcos in the 996 and they fit sans issue (i had this really goofy ones with wide helmet arms at the top and it still fit). shouldn't be a problem with the 993's either, that is unless you buy the EVO2 or EVO3 (they're designed wider for those of us who are more...erm..."robust" around the midsection) and i can't confirm fitment of those.

If you guys want a car that's really problematic to fit seats in, try fitting sport seats into an RX-7

 

Im a fan of the Recaro SPG...but that is more of a competition seat...


What about recaro Pole Positions in alcantara?

 

I suggest you sit in the seat for a bit before you make a decision. I sat in pretty much every recaro, bride, sparco, cobra, and I didn't like the majority of them and knew from 5 mins of sitting that I could not sit there for extended periods of time. I know you are in SoCal, sparco is in Irvine. Prodrive is also down the street from them.

 

I have the cobra milano... they are from sube sports in huntington beach I think... CH has a point, you should sit in them and see how they are... I got the cobra because someone was selling them here (don relentless), have carbon fiber backs, and they have the ability to recline, which on longer trips, being able to adust the seat forward and back a little helps a lot.

 

Check out the status adjustable seat... nice and comfy.. the fixed backs are not the most comfortable after a drive..the high thigh support can kill your legs since you have very very little movement. also they get to be a pain to get in and out of on a regular basis... if it's a track car it's never a big deal

 

cool996,
how comfy are the milanos? (compare them to stock if you can).i'm considering them...
thanks

 

Look no further, Recaro Pole Position's
