You should get your friend to check his car as the wiring harness may already be there under the base and it could just be plug and play.

I’ve never tried the 997 seats but the 996 CS seats are my favourite - so much so I have a spare set sitting in a box waiting for a car to put them in!
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.

Just asking for a mate !
Current Clubsport seats too hard, tight, and generally uncomfortable
What recommendations are suggested to have a more comfortable seat, baring in mind hanrnesses etc and not as open as the touring
Are 996GT3 seats better ( recall reading somewhere )
Any advice appreciated
I fitted the Recaro Sportster seats in my 996..Fitted very well...super comfortable..IMHO I think they look awesome...
If I had to say anything, you need to use the right bases (I used the PLANTED bases) or they can sit too high or not be centered properly.
I have put a set of 997 Adaptive sports seats into my 996.
They have air bladders so you can adjust the level of bolstering you like and they provide a nice balance of bolstering and comfort.
My other car has Recaro SR3s which are more aggressive buckets and reckon the 997 Adaptive sports seats provide the perfect mid point between a normal seat and deep bucket seat.
Honestly I don't know. But when you buy them second hand they normally come with rails mounted. I presume the CS seat bases would fit the same holes from a manufacturing point of view it would be logical to make them interchangeable.
They need power. They are I believe either fully powered (which is what mine are) ie they are powered for backwards and forwards, up and down and for rake adjustment. Or they are partially powered which means they go backwards and forwards and up and down manually but the rake is powered.

What he said ^
the 996 cloth Recaro Clubsport seats are the best. I didn’t fit in the 997 seats, crushed my hip bones but 996 seats were purrrfect
😍
. Snug and comfy whether on track or long drives on the road.
Yes!
They are the BEST OEM fitted fix back bucket IMO... here is my former 997 GT3 with my old set fitted.
These were sold, and recently found their new home in New Jersey USA... it’s odd, to me because when it comes to these NLA parts here in Australia, it seems that people tend to underestimate their replacement cost, and availability... I’m sure I will kick myself in future.
I’ve never tried the 997 seats but the 996 CS seats are my favourite - so much so I have a spare set sitting in a box waiting for a car to put them in!
I wonder if I’d like the 997 CS seats
🤔
