I'm 5'10" and 260lbs. I put Recaro Sport Topline seats into my 996 TT Cab and now I don't move around any more. No real fitting problem (for my wide butt). For 996 Recaro itself has an installation kit. The seats have both forward extension of the seat pad and electric tilt. Not sure if they're ok for track events (wouldn't be a problem at our PCA events out here though).

I'm still looking. I think the only solution for me is to have some Sparco Evo 3's with modded side bolsters to fit. Even then it'll be tight on the thighs, waist isn't crazy big at 38/40 but thighs are like 29" each.

Funny tho, my 2012 golf R has much more room and really nice seats..

I think I'm sitting a little lower so yes to headroom. Don't think much more legroom as I always have the "extender" at the front fully open to get maximum thigh support.

not sure if they are similar to the "R" seats..but the seats and driving position of the gti is just superb.
My boxster is collecting dust these days.
