Lightweight but still comfortable seats

I am looking for recommendations to replace the factory seats in my 2010 997TT. I want something that is (1) at least 35 pounds (or more) lighter than the standard 997TT seat, (2) reclines, and (3) is comfortable enough for a cranky old fart (i.e., guys like me ) for a 2-3 hour drive. The ability to adjust lumbar support would be nice too, but is not necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Factory 997TT standard seats is around 55lbs each. If you looking to save 35lbs from a pair, it will be around 37lbs for each seat. GT2 seat weight 39lbs each. They're pretty close. We have another options for our recline CGT seats, it weight 33lbs with all brackets and sliders which is 44lbs saving. It can be recline to get into rear seats. I've spend 4 hours drive in it and it feel comfortable. Lastly it cost less than half of OEM GT2 seats. Let me know if interest!

I ordered CGT seats from these guys more than a year ago. I still don't have them delivered.

Moreover CGT seats a really narrow in shoulders. Bought factory GT2 seats. They are absolutely perfect. The most comfortable lightweight seats I've ever tried.
By the way SLS has the same seats as GT2.

So a total weight savings of ~70#? Could be tough to do.

Hi Micheal, the productions has gone way longer than we expect. Lucky we never ask for deposit for your order. Finally the seats are ready just last week, it can be done in any Porsche interior color included natural brown. Email me if your shop still interest with it!

Ray, can you please PM me the price?

Are these wider than the factory 996 euro GT3 seats? I'm 6'2" 225 lb and can't fit my hips in the 6 GT3 seats...
