I've spent a good deal of time in a 430 with similar Sparco seats, and no issues there. I'm still quite young so I don't mind getting bounced about a bit. This isn't a daily driver car, so a little uncomfort is fine.

No, they do not. You can slide them forward & back, and the 991 GT3 has an electric height adjustment, but the pitch of the seat bottom & seat back is fixed.

The Sport Bucket would not go back far enought putting my knees into the dash and it sits up rather high and my head was cramed into the roof.

Manual Sport seats go much lower and further back. To me Porsche really messed up with the mounting design on the Sport Bucket seats.
Totally agree. I swap between the carbon fiber seats (summer) and standard seats (winter). It seems to me that you are actually sitting HIGHER in the carbon fiber seat

REALLY?
I have the carbon fiber OEM seat and the seat back folds forward.
Well it will get stuck in the headliner most of the times, but it folds.
