JayJay1374 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Is anyone running aftermarket bucket seats or alternatives to the stock tombstones? I really can’t get comfortable in the stock seats, they don’t fit my back and have no shoulder support. I do plan on doing a few track days next year so a comfortable/supportive seat would be essential. Id love to run a set of recaro speeds like I did in a previous car but the price for used units have gone through the roof. ive sat in a set of optional sports seats and they where a bit better but still not perfect.

Menoporsche Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 @Mr96er fitted 987 seats in his 986. Might give you more headroom too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 There's a lot of aftermarket options and fitting options but given comfort is a problem with the standard seats you are best off trying some surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berni29 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hi I could not live with the standard seats also. I now have 987 seats in which are no lighter, but are SO much better. Berni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more looking for ‘what defiantly fits’ or just to see other owners choices. The car isn’t daily driven either. So a bucket seat isn’t impractical.

Saxosim Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would recommend reclining sport seats as you get the comfort and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always like Recaro CS’s, did you buy them new? I had these in my previous car, Recaro speeds from an integra type r. I’d love another set but they are quite rare. https://imgur.com/a/AOTl9rH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look just the ticket, and probably half the price of the Porsche carbon fibre buckets new. Are they heated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxosim Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks Clive, they are great. I didn’t go heated no but you can for an extra £200. I figured I wouldn’t miss what I didn’t have already as I mainly use the car in fairer months anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
