Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Rears are 996 style so I am thinking they swapped the fronts.

The LS are old school seats that Recaro used back in the 80's that rereleased last year.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I came across what looks to be an original 996 with 993 seats. Its for sale an it looks like it's an early build. I remember it was mentioned on Rennlist that some early 996s came factory with 993 seats. Looks pretty good actually. Car for sale here. https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/72207745

POST 2Original post

Huh, very neat! The four spoke wheel really ties the cross platform look together.

POST 3Original post

Very interesting thanks !!! I have seen many unusual carry-over parts on 996, but haven't seen that one ( or was so subtle wasn't noticed) , and I even worked in a Porsche Dealership with many cars coming through my stalls.

POST 4Original post

Functional but odd.

POST 5Original post

Rears are 996 style so I am thinking they swapped the fronts. And probably from a 944 not a 993.

POST 6Original post

April 98 build date

POST 7Original post

Think it looks pretty cool actually.

Agree, they don't look out of place, at least at that angle.

Now I'd like to see how well a set of Recaro LS seats would look in a 996.

Those CS look amazing and there are companies that sell a carbon fiber rear cap, they'd look right at home in a carbon interior package. The LS are old school seats that Recaro used back in the 80's that rereleased last year.
