GT3 Seats
Hi guys,
I'm in the market for upgraded seats for my 996 TT. Went to a few track days and realized that the stock seat on the turbo just isn't up to par.
The more I look into seats the more confused I got. I wanted to get GT3 seats due to the ability to sell them in the future. But apparently there are more then "1" GT3 seats.
1. Is GT3 sports seat and Euro GT3 seat the same thing? (There is also a GT3 seat thats reclinable and not made by recaro right)
2. GT2 and GT3 sport seat the same seats?
3. Have anyone 6'4" and 250lb(40 inch waist) fit in these? I don't drive this car everyday so would care more if it held me in place vs. comfort.
4. It fits on the stock rails right? Does it lower the height vs. stock seats?
Thanks Guys!!!
Mike

you will never fit in the gt3 seats. I am 6'2 and 200lbs. I have a 34in waist and I am pushing the seats to the limit. I would also hate to drive the car daily, they are challenging to get in and out of...
you may want to try the sport seats or a different brand of racing seat..

There are a set of replica GT3 seats in the marketplace. Maybe a cheap way for you to get into some racing buckets:

Look at the Recaro Speed. Bolsters are not too high and the seats recline for access to the rear.

Only seats I can fit (similar build) comfortably are:
Sparco Evo3s (have to modify tunnel to fit) (cheap though)
Recaro Sportster CS (not fixed-back, so no 5/6pts)
Good luck -- it's a huge pain in the *** (literally) right now.

Take it from me... Unfortunately I wasted a lot of money buying brackets and seats that basically will not fit.

@ HBK: Do you have more room to slide backwards? I don't mind them being hard to get in and out of. But just wonder if I can actually fit in it. I fit in the Recaro Hans and SPG XLs.
@Hams: Same thing happened to me today!!! I had a shop install a Sportster CS and it can only go back so far till it hits the narrow part and because I'm 6'3" this setup won't work!!! What did you end up doing?
