Does anyone have any advice on upgrading seats in a 997, I have a gen 1 turbo with the ordinary comfort seats, they're fine until I go to track days where they don't have nearly enough support. Are the GT3 style seats with fixed backs comfy for ordinary driving? Are there any reasonably priced replacement seats?

The ASS (adaptive sports seats) can be made to be very supportive (and uncomfortable), but I would think with all the motors etc, they will be mega-bucks (unless possibly from a breakers?) and a pain to wire up?

I would stick some Recaro Pole Positions in for a grand and keep the "sports" seats to refit when you want to sell it?
