They certainly do. You have pictured the period Recaro bucket, used from 964 through the 993 RS models. It depended on which version of 993 RS one ordered. These were standard on the more extreme version, the standard seat being the RS Comfort seat [ Here is an example: http://rmsothebys.com/mo15/monterey/...-rs-38/1076503 ]. I just found a bunch of 993 RS models via Classic Driver. Remember that not all of these cars have stock seats [https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car...dvanced&page=1 ].
I no longer have any of the 993 bucket seats. Just one set of the comfort seats. Good luck. These are getting hard to find.
Weird that 993RS does not have the proper steering wheel. Those 4-way seats are correct however, and as you point out some went with the LWB seats in the photo(s) you posted. Having used both, it is much more comfortable to drive (and egress) using the 4-ways.

I see... thanks for all these. I still got lots to learn
They are really rare now... all I can found now is replica
These seats are out there. Unfortunately, most ended up in replicas and hot rods. If your car is a factory 993RS you need to just keep looking. There are plenty of other websites. You don't include where you are located. You aren't going to find many in the states as the only seats imported for quite some time were for the replica/hot rods over here. I also note you have limited experience here. The truth is that a LOT of scammers frequent pretty much all these sites today and a WTB ad will bring them out with tasty offers.. but nothing except grief. I would be checking the UK and European sites as well as Rennlist too. Be careful. If your car is a replica don't bother with finding Factory seats. The better replicas are good quality. You also have to be careful about FIT. Back in the day these seats were set up for young guys [yes, you are young] at a time when the general population- and racing drivers- were a LOT skinnier. I had a set decades ago and these were tight! Make sure you get the width measurements before you buy. They do come in more than one size. The "skinny" version is punishing for anyone except a tiny F1 driver type. Good luck.
I have a pair currently for sale. They are totally original black with grey perforated centre sections/ black painted shells. ALL decals in place. Came from the same car from new - both Sept 1995 - seat number 3175 and 3186. Both seats have the original Recaro Porsche mounts and runner assemblies. Have loads of photos. I am based in the UK but will ship anywhere. Email me if you are serious about buying - ivan@kanefm.com

Also, don't forget that these sites are loaded with scammers. These seats on offer from a guy with a total of 2 posts? Anything is possible but I have been looking for parts in the past and the first thing I do is check out who is posting and ask direct questions to see how genuine this person is.. or isn't. [Both posts are related to this and just signed up. Take nothing for granted. But don't worry about insulting someone with some "Trust BUT verify" so you know your money isn't actually disappearing into a hole in Russia or wherever.

GOOD POINT!
So, to clarify things and clear and questions or negative feelings. I am a UK Porsche 964 owner - part of the L90 - I was over the moon to find these seats as they were on my spec bucket list which included BBS Motorsport E28s (magnesium alloy 3 piece) an original Matter cage, RS Touring steering wheel and loads more. Sadly due to family commitments the seats and wheels seemed the most sensible option to rake in some rapid cash - and hopefully save me from having to part with the car that has become such a major part of my life. You can clarify my integrity easily, my 964 is a very well known car, as it is 1 of 1 - a unique Sonderwunsch built car. I am not offended in anyway, shape or form that you raised a VERY VALID point and gave good advice... We need to look out for our extended family and snub out the vermin that stalk the web for suckers. I commend you on looking out for people - I am sure Karma will repay you somewhere down the line.
Oh, and to clear up the 2 post Newbieness - I did a search for 993RS seats and this thread came up, it seemed like a good idea to alert people to the fact I had to sell my seats.
I have this link which will tell you more about my car and help cover any doubts I am sadly just a motivated unmotivated seller looking to find the next custodian. Thanks, Ivan
Ivan, it seems obvious you are one of the Good Guys. I wish you the best and hope it works out. I've always thought these were particularly special.
Thank you John, I feel it is better to be open when called out. Well, unless you have something to hide - but it will come to the surface in the end... I have been ripped off before and heard some heartbreaking stories during the two decades I worked my way up from footstool to being Editor a specialist motoring magazine from people who had been fleeced for their money by restorers, had years of trauma and ending up with empty wallets and cars that were often stripped down, had parts missing, poorly executed work, etc.
To me those who prey on the enthusiast are utter scum. When a person views a vehicle as more than simply transport it is through passion, our cars, well in a high percentage of cases, are our hobby it is horrendous that the person they entrust to restore or work on a car turns dreams into nightmares.
I treat people how I hope I will be treated and if it means a little extra work, I do it. I have just returned from a three hour round trip to deliver a vintage Simpson RX1 helmet I sold on eBay -
it was my choice to deliver it, and it cost me more in fuel than if I had mailed it. Oh, and time! But, I didn't want to risk it getting damaged after 37 years. It also meant I was able to meet the new owner and see the look on his face when he saw how good it was.
