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 currently have Recaro Euro GT3 seats in my 996, but have found they're not the ideal fit for my height (6'5"). I am contemplating the Recaro Profi SPG XL seats, but just learned from the local distributor they are not DOT street legal. He even went so far to say that if you were to get in an accident with them and be injured that the insurance company could reject coverage if they learned the seats were in the car. Is that right? Has anyone else heard that before and if so, then what do you do? Take them in/out with factory seats only for track days? Or is that why everyone goes with the Euro GT3 seats (which I presume are street legal). Many thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

I have understanding that they are ok for street use. at least in Finland. maybe in US it is different story.

POST 3Original post

The euro GT3 seats were never sold installed in a car in the U.S. either. I don't think there's any way to eliminate the risk of an insurance company denying coverage due to non factory installed equipment if you want "race" seats. Now the current GT2 folding buckets do come installed in the cars delivered in the U.S. however they're certainly not cheap. I personally would use the Recaro PROFI's, and not worry about it. I believe this was the base for several "factory" seats in some European Porsches.
