Daniel, those seats look great. We you be offering them with pass throughs for a 6 point harness?

Dave, The 996 in the picture have been equiped with Trend seats, great for daily driving. Only the racing seats have 4,5, and 6 point pass throughs Here is a catalog of Recaro Racing seats. Hope this helps!

Thanks Daniel, I have seen the racing seats. My car is also used for pleasure in addition to about 12-15 DE events. I was kind of looking for the best of both worlds....

Dave, I completely understand! You probably already know this but the best recommendation I can suggest would be going with the Sport or the Sport Topline since they can both have 4 point harness. I have the Pole Positions myself and they are great seats for track.. a little rough for my 2 hour/day commute thru Orange County traffic

Does the seat heating system work through the stock control system (ie unplug and plug in)?

Hey Shark, the Topline seats (those with heaters, coolers, electronic controls, etc.) can not be re-integrated with the OEM control system without major surgery on the chair, which I don't suggest. Hope this helps -daniel

Daniel, I'm interested in the Pole Position but I am concerned with raising the seat height. There is another post on this forum showing the GT3 seats and Pole Position side by side. With the brackets it seems you sit 2 inches higher than GT3 which wouldn't work for me. Any suggestions? k

Hey KC996, after reading that thread I noticed that the opening poster wasn't using authentic Recaro sidemounts. As you can see, authentic Recaro Sidemounts allow you to adjust your seat height. Hope this helps! -daniel

seats look great! can you PM me with price? Do I dare ask?

Hey Evo, sent you a PM with the link to the seats. PM me back with the one you are interested in! -daniel

The 996 height issues seems more to do with the sliders you're using. I was using 996 manual sliders which force the seat higher about an inch at least because of the locking pins. Daniel seems to be using Recaro sliders which don't have this problem. 993 manual sliders should also work.

Daniel, Thanks for the info! I just bought a roll bar, next I'm doing headers then seats (it never ends); all while I am adding another bathroom to my house. So it's going to be a few months before I can make a move but I will definitely keep you in mind. k

No worries! Take your time. I know what you mean, mod'ing car's never end

What is the weight on these?

Troppo, Which seats are you curious about? -daniel

FYI: Just wanted to let you know about a recent install we did on a 996 with the PP's. The PP's using factory Recaro Brackets and Adapter/Slider bars sit higher than the stock seats, even at the lowests bracket settings. To some drivers, this will be a dangerous configuration and I would not suggest purchasing PP's unless you can go to a shop which will install them for you to sit in them in your car WITH your helmet on. A fellow Rennlist'er named John (who is 6'3") was patient enough for us to try multiple configurations with different brackets on his 996. (big thanks again John! ). Unfortunately we could create any setup which will fit his needs; in worse case scenerios his helmet was touching the roof and his knees were grazing the steering wheel. I believe if you bolted the seat directly to the chassis floor (in a full time track car) you can alleviate the height issue. Just a head's up for everyone who wants to get the PP for a weekend tracker.

Daniel. Please PM prices on the Furious seats in black. I have a 05 GT3. Need the mounts too. [email removed]

PM Sent.

Can you email me with price list? [email removed] Thanks Steve

Interested in seat options for my 996 cab....do these have power sliders available? I am interested in the Style and Sport topline...with heating and cooling....I am commuting 2 hours a day and want something very comfortable. Looking for an upgrade to the Porsche comfort seat full power with lumbar supports....thx...I am local as well so I may come by your shop and try out the ones in your showroom.

Would you extend the offer to 993 guys as well? Also, is it possible to do custom colors with Porsche leather in the Toplines?

Hi! If you are local I suggest stopping by the showroom! Thanks!

Ofcourse! PM Sent!

Daniel Do you have any alternative ideas/products for us tall guys who like to track our 996s? Simon

Simon, In regards to Racing Shells: I would suggest trying to get GT3's which sit lower or if you track your car ALOT i would suggest bolting down the sidemount directly to the floor of your car. Most full time race cars bolt it down to the floor. For Sport seats: The Speed (the successor to the SRD setas) are djustable 4 PT or 5 PT seats that do not need a sidemount so will sit about 2 inches lower then Racing shells. They will also be more adjustable because they have tilt functionality in additional to back/forward movement. Only concern I have with the Speed seats are that they might not fit in the 996's. -daniel

Hi Daniel, your PM box seems to be full The Speed seats might be an interesting alternative to GT3 seats for me. A dual purpose seat that can take a 5/6-point harness would be useful, and at 6'4", the lower installation is handy. Could you let me know how much 2 Speeds plus installation would be on a 996? If you're interested in experimenting with getting a workable solution for tall drivers, I'd be very happy to spend a Saturday with you seeing what we can work out. Simon

Hey Simon, Sorry about that. Just cleaned up my mailbox. You can come into our showroom (we are open from Tues - Sat) and sit in our display model Speed seats to see if you think its a good fit. (Since you are in SoCal) Without taking anything from your car we can try some measurements also. Let me know! -daniel
