Adaptive Sports Seats - Any good ??

[anglebox10]

Hello there,
I'm looking at getting these seats over the normal sports seats.
As far as I can make out they have elect adjustable back and thigh bolsters, does this mean one size fits all !!
Do they offer much better support than the normal sports seats, if so I take it they'd be better suited to 'brisk' B road driving ??
Obviously need to try and get a seat in them, but won't be able to visit my OPC for a few weeks yet.
Any thought's appreciated.

They are very similar to the standard sports seats, but with a greater range of adjustment, inc bolsters and lumbar.

So, almost anyone should find comfort.

However, with so many permutations, the 'memory' function is therefore essential.

Not advisable for the new 997 GT3 as they add quite a bit of weight and there is no memory function.

Oh, and they are expensive.

I have them in my car - not impressed by the lumbar support - plus the sports seats (non adaptive) arent that much different

Depends a bit on your body shape. I got the regular sport seats who, in the 997 are quite a bit wider than in previous models. As I'm tall and thin, I feel there could be somewhat more support during spirited cornering. The adaptive seats should rectify this, however at substantial extra cost and weight...
