Seats for GT2

I am in the process of buying an 08 GT2. I want to use it as a DD and the only negative is the difficulty getting in and out with the sport seats. I love it when I am inside but getting there is a little cumbersome for a DD. Does anyone know of a seat that I can buy to replace the stock seat that would be easier for a DD that I could switch back to the stock seat for track use?

I agree that as a DD getting out of these seats many times a day would be tough. The high side bolsters really make it difficult. Not entirely sure but I would think any of the 997 seats would fit. In fact if I am not mistaken, isn't the Adaptive Sport Seat available as an option choice on GT2?

Congrats btw -- GT2 is an amazing car with fantastic handling and steering feel; made my beloved Turbo feel like soft noodle . I made all the changes to my car's suspension because of it. (Exhaust sound is only so so though.)

You can get ***, but you're not gonna have any easy swap for the track. After a while, you'll get used to the gymnastics of getting in/out of the sport buckets, I'd leave 'em in.
