Did you keep a buckle to use the stock shoulder belt? If so what did you use (I can't tell from the photos). I have these seats in my car and for everyday use keep the harnesses tucked away, like most do I presume. I'm using the stock stiff type buckle mount in the appropriate slot on the seat. The buckle mounting stem isn't quite tall enough and because the seats are snug, skewers my behind if I'm not very careful getting in. Any help appreciated.

Yes, I kept the stock shoulder belt for street use.

I didn't like how the OEM buckle mount jabbed my hip coming through the slot in the side of the seat, so I pulled them out of the slots (had to remove the seats again to do this) and left them on the side of the seats like they do with the Recaro seats.

Works great and the seats feel much better this way.

How much of a pain are the seats to take out and re-install. You know where I'm going with this!

Outstanding! Best looking 997 GT3 I've had the pleasure of seeing. Great choice of mods.

Not really hard, never even took them out of the car to do this, just unbolted them from the floor and leaned it over so we could get the buckle out of the slot... then remounted to the floor.

Car looks great. Just curious - why did you decide to swap the PCCB's for the street rotors?

Better brake pad selection. Thanks for all the compliments in this thread!

I guess I didn't read this carefully when you first posted it, I didn't swap the PCCB's for street rotors, I swapped them for what I consider to be better rotors for the track. I have floating AP Racing rotors in the front, and cup car rotors in the rear which all are now steel. I still use the calipers from the PCCB setup, and now I have better pad selection to choose from. I am saving the ceramic rotors, and I don't notice the weight difference in the rotors driving it on the street or track. This new setup is noisier though for sure.
