Was going to upgrade to the gt3 seats…I heard that using my 6 pt harness with harness bar and oem seats are actually dangerous as the shoulder belts could slip off in an accident…

Was going to get gt3 seats but some say that they are way overpriced and not as supportive as some of the race seats (sparco s2000)

I am about to pull the trigger ona pr of gt3 seats installed for less than 3k$


The main negative I see on the sparcos or other non oem race seats is that you have to change the sliders ets, bigger install job and may effect resale a bit..

Any input would be great

Thanks!

 

and i would keep my adaptic sport seats to reinstall on my resale (if i ever sell it )

just don't like the idea of changing tracks on install hardware....

 

bought em..

 

They are fantastic at the track, and entirely comfortable on the street. You will love them.

suncoast porsche in sarasota has a great price...2600 around for a pair of the 996 gt3 seats...

or you can haggle with your local place with that price...

The GT3 seats are supportive enough, but if you're a big guy like me they are a little narrow and don't offer much shoulder and upper back bolstering. I'm 5'10, 215.

It is definitely recommended to stay OEM, but they do look a little awkward in the small C2 cabin, but very cool just the same. If I decide to sell the GT3 seats once I buy the car from my friend, I'll reach out to you. His are barely used.

whomever told GT3 seats are too $$$ are absolute moron. i have just about every racing shell made, and for the price, you cannot beat it.

the rail and bracket alone is worth it. if you buy sparco and recaro sliders, they suck, they dont slide freely. compare that with gt3 sliders. i often buy the seats, take off the sliders and resell the seats at 1/2 price. the slider is worth $1000 to me.

once you use it you will understand.

everyone else' slider will wobble, just push the seat with your hands. then do the same to porsche sliders.

 

can you make the sliders work with other seat manufacturers seats... i want to get OMP... and use the GT3 sliders!!

 

mooty you are right
seats and sliders are great....
