Pokiou Posted 17October, 2018 Report Share Posted 17October, 2018 Hey Guys, I've been pondering the idea of upgrading my seats to support my fat ass a little better and give me lateral grip when cornering. GT3 seats are out of my price range. Has anyone upgrades there sears and if so what to? I hear some chatter from the UK guys that they upgrade to the Cayman GTS or GT4 seats or something along those lines? In upgrading did you encounter issues with fitting the sears and lining up the bolts and so forth?? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 17October, 2018 Report Share Posted 17October, 2018 The 996 "comfort/sport" seats have additional bolstering and are probably your best bet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_189 Posted 18October, 2018 Report Share Posted 18October, 2018 Just now, Pokiou said: i know are these the same seats you have? Nahh I've just got standard seats. I don't particularly like the sport seats above. If anything I'll get nomex GT3 ones one day but not high on my priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokiou Posted 18October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 18October, 2018 They are mint, but i need it to recline so i can get the little one in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 18October, 2018 Report Share Posted 18October, 2018 Yeah that's the drawback of the GT3 seat - I don't have any seats in the back but often use it for storage of bags etc. They built folding GT3 seats on the 997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raafrebel2 Posted 4February, 2019 Report Share Posted 4February, 2019 I bought a pair of carbon fibre GT3 copy seats a few years back for a couple grand. I bought them second hand I think they were made in America and cost about 5 k new for a set. they were very good quality and folded forward for rear access. i can’t remember the brand ... I sold them when I sold my 996 as the new owner didn’t want them . I sold them for 2 k i wished I kept them for my 997s they were a bit harder to get into than standard seats ( I already had the sport seat option) but they were actually really comfy on long trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
