Does any one know if the sports bucket seats in a GT3 RS are adjustable?

I know I wrote "fixed" but these seats backs move forward for rear access, just wanted to know if you could therefore change the "fixed" point so the back is reclined more, say by only one inch.

so you mean the carbon backed reclining seats.. not the completely fixed ones (not even sure they were an option on the GT3 RS anymore tbh..).

I would also be interested if you can adjust them on a "permanent" basis.. i.e. in height, inclination.. etc etc..

..If you look at the 2 brackets holding the seat to the car, they can have a few holes to adjust them to suit your own comfort, sometimes you can raise the front or drop the rear.

It depends on if there are any extra holes in the brackets, or you can make some..!

Good points!
Yes the carbon backed seats in the 997 GT3 RS Gen II

The fact that they move forward for access to the rear/cage means they are not "fixed" in the true sense so was wondering if one could either through the mechanism used to move them forward/back or through the fixing bolts.

Forwards and backwards only I believe. Fixed aftermarket brackets bolted directly to the floor with no adjustment may or may not be an option.

Yes forwards and backwards only. Nothing else. Very comfortable though.

I was looking around and thanks to a 6 speed online post I found the following which might help with height adjustment for the Carbon Backed seats. Most say that the 991 is sensibly the same seat of the 997 so should do the trick :

Possibility to order the sub-belt mount too.
