Hey there everyone,
I am currently rebuilding my motor (and upgrading a little) and working on improving the interior a bit. I got a great deal on some 1st gen Boxster seats that I'd love to use, but don't know how to tackle this. My current seats are pretty torn up and I would think upgrading to a newer, Porsche seat could be really cool. 1.) Has anyone swapped out for seats like this before? 2.) Is it worth the time/effort? I know these seats are heavier than the stockers... They are, however, much more comfortable and I plan to drive this a bunch. If/when I decide to do more autocross/track days, I will likely look to change to something lighter and safer. Thoughts? Help?  |

Might work if you are not too tall.
