Sport bucket seats for the Cayman, who has them?

My car came with the sport seat, but i think i want the sport buckets..
Anybody order them with the cayman? Do you like them, or anybody order another after market seat for tracking?

At Daytona, i was okay in my seat with the seat belt, but i intend on being a very very late breaker once i get comfortable..

Also does the cayman need a cage in the back or roll bar ( or just in general for tracking) for the 6 point harness? Or will a sport bucket seat do the job with a regular seat belt...
thanks...

You can buy them through any porsche dealership or online at suncoast and the like. Be prepared to fork over lots of dough though.

The answers really depends on what you want out of these events.
I'll first say this, it's not necessity to install sport buckets, harness (you really do need to have HANS at the same time) and rollbar. That said, I would love to have a pair of sport buckets...and harness would be great if I brake so hard that I am spending time/energy keeping myself in the seat.
But for the type (HPDE's) & level (8/10th's max & car goes home in one piece) of driving I do, they are nice to have's and not necessities.

If the car is a dedicated track rat (trailer, R compound, compete in sanctioned events (get $), etc.), then, I would consider those as necessary safety features.
