Sports seats

[aporschefan]

What are more supportive, 944 sports seats (the ones with the big bolsters) or 986/996 sports seats?

Would love a pair of Recaro PP but buying a pair puts them out out of my budget.

my opinion from experience of all 3 would be:

PP's are good once you are in them, but require agility to get into, and they are poor when it comes to adjustability

944 Sports seats with deep bolsters are the best seats I ever sat in during 30 years of driving, and excellent for adjustability (but some will say they are heavy - I don't care)

996 sports seats were designed by an accountant, - and are uncomfortable - the top corners of the backrest puts a curve in your shoulders

Early and late 911/944 sports seats are best.

Recaro pole's are great, very light and comfortable, although I find the Recaro branding tacky for a road car so went for the leather option. Yes there's a nack to getting in and out but the trade off in support and communication means they are worth it, and Jabriel I think you are young enough and fit enough for it not to be an issue[]. Downsides are they have less cushioning, are not adjustable (seat rail only) and restrict access to rear seats/luggage area, although I don't find any of those a real issue for me.

Second hand may be more affordable, if you can find some, otherwise you just have to save up!

944 sport seats. Panssangers rarely get in and out with as much care as you will. Weight saving is same as removing spear wheel.

996 seats had less hug then 944 comfort seats, but are easyer 2 get in and out off. Yet you feel like your sitting on them rather then in.

I put some sport seats in mine and certainly would do it again!
