I'm considering removing the heavy stock seats in my '03 996C2 and replacing with sport seats (those that have a movable back). Can't go full race seats as I use the back seat for my kid ("I wanna go fast!!!)

Looking at the Sparco Milanos (leather or alacantara), Recaro Speed or Sportster CS or the Cobra Misanos. I think all would do the car justice, but more importantly keep my **** in the seat during track events, etc.

Any info, thoughts, considerations, and most importantly pics would be helpful. I haven't sat in the Cobras, but have in the Sparcos and Recaros - both feel pretty good, but the Cobras are unbelievably cool to look at and are considerably lighter, for a similar price.

Thanks in advance!

 

do sparco or other companies make seats that work with the stock power functions?

 

No....You can get Recaros that are power, but it will not work with the power controls....

 

Power function is not important on my end - rather have seats that are adjustable manually but are lighter/stronger that are better supporting me for track use - however the back needs to come up so that I can still use the backseats...

 

That's one of the reasons I like the cobra milano's so much... I can't say that it was a selling point... but I was very happily surprised when I found out you can fold the seats forward to access the back!

 

This would be my pick for a sports seat right now

Recaro Sportster CS Hybrid Sport Seats

key features

• Collapsible/adjustable racing shell in hybrid construction made from steel and composite materials (such as Carbon, Kevlar and Fiberglass)
• Belt guides for 4-point safety belt system; 3-point belt system can also be used.

 

With the recaros/misanos, is there a quick release lever, like with the stock seats, to get to the back?

How easy was the install with the misanos? Any issues with width, etc.

I agree. I was going to say the same. I have not seen these in a Porsche yet but I bet they would look amazing in all black.

Or you could go hardcore like the ones I want to get for my Lotus

 

The recaros are intriguing...would like to see them in person, seem really tall for a seat, but heard great things. There has been a pair on EBay for quite a while that have a price or best offer, though I'm not sure how willing to part with them they are in terms of a deal...

As for the Lotus seats - those are silly cool, but can't say that I'd want to sit in them for a long period of time - I may have to use a stadium cushion for comfort...they look like they weigh 2 lbs each without the padding...

 

More pictures?

 

If you looking for sport seats, you may take a look of our sFCGT recline seat GB. It come with all sliders and brackets for 996.

This one looks gooo, too.

 

I have a pair of Black Factory leather Porsche Sport Seats with heaters and power tilt that I am considering selling. They came out of my TT and have been in storage. they are in like new condition.
