Can anyone recommend / give there reviews on how they have improved the seat angle on the 918 seats as I have recently tested the 918 seats and find them a little to upright for my liking. If i change my 991 I will be coming away 18 way adjustments which are perfect.

seems half and half on reports some people taking them back off :-(

the thing is it tilts the front of the seat also, which puts pressure on your legs.

I really dislike the 918 Style seats and both my keepers are back to folding Buckets over the 918 style.

I had to suffer 2 cars with those seats and don't miss them one bit.

Why do you feel the folding fit you better?

I move about less in the seat and they are less upright, they feel made for me like a nice fitting glove. 5,10 11.5 stone.

The 918 style kill me.

Added to the fact, they fold and are heated both of which are massive plus points for me esp in a Gt3 regarding folding.
And I use my cars over winter so heated is great.

I find them super comfortable , then I did drive from London to Jerez in a 64 RS , as 6 foot 4 they work well and the up /down adjustment is ace ....lots of headroom .
Had a "larger " friend with me to Le Mans and he just could not get out of them which was a source of many jokes over the weekend ..

I assume the folding are smaller then?

Heating is a big plus for me.

Hi hunter, I assume you are referring to the 918 seats?

Yes the bucket seats ( 991 GT3 /RS ) I assume are "918" seats ...
