Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found 2 996 GT3 seats that I'm contemplating for my Boxster. I'm 6'5, and looking for more head/legroom. Will mounting GT3 seats directly to the floor grant an advantage in room over the stock seats on sliders? Any advice or experience with the seats would be greatly appreciated. (also, I am not heavy-set so fitting in these seats should not be a problem)

POST 2Original post

Yes, mounting them to the floor without sliders is the ticket. Honestly, I don't miss the sliders at all.

POST 3Original post

it's about an inch or inch and half lower than the lowest driving position. Maybe two inches. It definitely changes the viewing angle. Out of curiosity once I had my friend's kid brother who is a little shorter than you put on my helmet and get in for a rough broom stick test. His head was still above the windshield by a good couple of inches. You can install the Brey Krause bar to lower the seat a little more.

POST 4Original post

Gt3 seats completely change the experience. It'll be the best money you've ever spent on our car.
